Note that this movie is well regarded today, but the producers were having difficulty getting financing for it, because they did not think it would do well at the box office! But Disney had a big success with "Swiss Family Robinson" the year before, which was a very similar movie to this one, and that enabled the producers of this movie to get financing!

This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a slightly diagonal top fold, with some tears around the edges and some light stains near the center. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
