An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Gulliver's Travels, the 1939 Dave Fleischer full-length feature family fantasy adventure animated animation cartoon ("Based on Jonathan Swift's Immortal Tale"; "Produced by Max Fleischer") featuring the voices of Jessica Dragonete, Lanny Ross, Pinto Colvig, Jack Mercer, and Sam Parker. Note that this movie by the Fleischer brothers (who had had multiple reel cartoons prior to Walt Disney's first feature, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs") was intended to be the beginning of a long series of Fleischer features, but this did not have the success of Disney's films, so that did not happen! Note that Max Fleischer (along with his brother Dave) were legends and pioneers in animated films. They made the very first sound cartoon in 1924, beating Walt Disney by several years. They had great success with their Out of the Inkwell cartoons, Popeye, Betty Boop, and much more, including the Superman cartoons, widely regarded as the finest cartoons ever made! But after Walt Disney made Snow White, the Fleischers made Gulliver's Travels, which did not do well at the box office, and their next major project, Mr. Bug Goes To Town, had the bad fortune to be released two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it also did poorly. At this same time, the Fleischer brothers had a major falling out, and in 1942, they split completely. After they made the last of their Superman cartoons in 1942, Paramount ceased control of their studio. Each of the brothers made a few more cartoons, but their careers were essentially over.

Important Added Info: Note that we are selling all of the eight cards from "Gulliver's Travels" as eight separate items, and each of the cards has an unusual printing defect. Each of them has an uneven 1/2" area at the bottom where the card is a lighter color. This was a printing defect, likely caused when the cards were printed. I have seen it on other cards of this vintage, and most collectors do not consider it an important defect, since only blank white paper is involved, and of course, in the case of these extremely rare cards, it would be very difficult to find another example of this card in any condition! NOTE: In this case, the #1 in the title of the sale is not the number of the lobby card. Because we are selling more than one lobby card from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate the different sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc..". Condition: good to very good. There are pinholes in the corners, and one in the center of the top border (there is a 1/2" tear above that pinhole). There is a 1" tear in the lower right border that just extends into the edge of the image. There are some creases and smudges around the edges of the card. Other than the above defects, and the odd printing defect described above, the card is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
