An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, the 1934 Ub Iwerks & Shamus Culhane ComiColor animation animated cartoon short. After being instrumental in the creation of Mickey Mouse for Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks (full name Ubbe Iwerks) was hired away from Disney by P.A. Powers of Celebrity Productions to create a series of cartoons based on classic fairy tales (Iwerks was able to be hired away, both because he did not share in the financial rewards that Disney obtained from his work on Mickey Mouse and other early Disney characters, and also because Iwerks was barely credited for his work). Iwerks not only drew the ComiColor cartoons, but he also drew the one-sheets (and a 4-card full-color lobby card set) created to promote each of them. Unfortunately, this series of cartoons did not perform well at the box office, and late in the series, they switched from individual one-sheets for each cartoon to a stock poster with different titles printed in the middle. After 25 cartoons, Powers folded Celebrity Productions and Iwerks was forced to return to Disney. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Ub Iwerks Important Added Info: Note that first release 1934 posters and lobby cards from this cartoon are incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a one-sheet (26 years ago) and a lobby card from this until we received this different lobby card, which has a wonderful image of Aladdin rubbing the lamp and summoning the Genie, who is pictured. Note that a number of lobby cards from many of these Ub Iwerks ComiColor cartoons surfaced decades ago, and many of them are offered for sale at regular intervals. However, the ones from this specific cartoon are far more rare and are almost never offered for sale! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The card has darkened, typical of these Ub Iwerks lobby cards. There are creases, tiny surface tears, and tiny bits of surface paper loss in the upper left blank border, with a few tiny creases and scuffs scattered in the card (they are mostly only noticeable when the card is tilted to the light). Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
