Saludos Amigos (Hello Friends), the 1943 Norman Ferguson & Wilfred Jackson Walt Disney Brazil animated animation cartoon comedy 42-minute short feature ("Walt Disney Goes South American in his gayest musical Technicolor feature"; "Donald Duck meets his master... when Joe Carioca, the tropical cut-up.. teaches him that samba rhythm!"; "Get Hep to a new beat - the tropical rhythm of that Samba hit... 'Brazil'"; "It's the gayest of all Disney features!") featuring the voices of Clarence Nash (as Donald Duck) and Jose Oliveira (as Joe Carioca; billed as "Introducing Joe Carioca The Brazilian Jitterbird... who drives Donald wacky with his wisecracks and dizzy doings about town!"; in this unusual 42-minute short feature, real Disney animators tour South America, and they present four pretty unrelated cartoons inspired by their visit, and all set in South America) and starring Walt Disney, Norman Ferguson, and narrated by Frank Graham. Note that early stills identify Joe Carioca as "Jose Carioca". On those same stills, the title is given as "Saludos", and we know that was a working title, and we have seen other stills that say "Saludos, Amigos", so perhaps that was the second working title and then the comma was dropped!

Important Added Info: In addition to all the posters, the pressbook contains many cool promotional tie-ins, plus lots of articles about South America, and the differences between their countries and the U.S.! Note that this pressbook (along with 14 others) comes from the remarkable collection described below. The 15 pressbooks include ones from both Disney shorts and Disney features from the very late 1930s and the early 1940s. All of them are incredibly rare and are almost never offered for sale (to give you a sense of how incredibly rare they are, we at eMoviePoster.com have only previously auctioned three of them). More remarkably, all of the 15 are complete and uncut and most are in wonderful condition. It will surely be a long time before even a few of these are offered at auction again! Note that this item, along with many others, has a wonderful provenance! It comes from a remarkable collection of original 1940s Walt Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees that just surfaced! Not only are all of these items extremely rare ones that are hardly ever auctioned, but they almost all are in really nice condition. The origin of these items is even more fascinating. Our consignor attended these movies as a young boy (he is currently over 80!), and a kindly theater owner gave him these items, and he has carefully preserved them all these many years, until now, when he has consigned them directly to us! We previously auctioned the original stills he had in our auction in May of 2016, and now we are auctioning the rest of his items. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to obtain some of the finest Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees we have ever seen, and all of them will have new owners when these auctions close, because all start at $1 with no reserve. In addition to the items from this man's collection (saved from when it was a little boy over 70 years ago!), we also gathered together lots of other rare animation related movie paper items of all types, and together this is a wonderful offering of movie animation items! Many of these items will likely not be auctioned again for many years to come! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut!
