Auction History Result 8h0212 LOT OF 16 FANTASIA R90 SOUVENIR PROGRAM BOOKS R1990 Disney musical cartoon classic! Date Sold 4/18/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 16 souvenir program books from the 1990 re-release of Walt Disney's Fantasia, the classic 1940 James Algar & Samuel Armstrong Walt Disney animated animation cartoon musical fantasy ("Walt Disney's Technicolor FEATURE Triumph") featuring Mickey Mouse and other cartoon characters created specifically for this feature movie, set to the music of classical composers including Leopold Stokowski, and Beethoven. Note that Fantasia had a very limited roadshow release which took place in several theaters with special audio equipment installed for the "Fantasound" system. This release started in late 1940 and continued into 1941, and these theaters often used home-made displays for the film. Throughout 1941, RKO negotiated with Disney to make a much shorter version of the movie in mono which could be shown in theaters without the need for special equipment. Disney finally agreed, and let RKO create a heavily edited version (he refused to edit it himself) which was released in early January of 1942. Regular posters were printed with a 1941 NSS number (it's not uncommon for films that are released near the start of a year to have a NSS from the previous year), and that is when the film had its first general release. So almost ALL of the known "first release" posters are from the 1942 continuous first release (with 1941 NSS numbers). The only pre-1942 advertising that we have seen are window cards, 8x10 stills and heralds from the theaters with the special "Fantasound" equipment. IMPORTANT! The lot contains 16 identical program books, so we have only pictured three images of one, but the winner of this auction receives all 16 programs! Measurements: 11 1/4" x 13 1/2"Condition: very good to fine. We have only pictured three images of one of the program books, but all 16 are in similar condition.
