Auction History Result 9h049 MAKE MINE MUSIC pressbook '46 Walt Disney full-length feature cartoon, cool musical art! Date Sold 8/21/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]; 39 pages) (Learn More) Make Mine Music!, the 1946 Bob Cormack & Clyde Geronimi Walt Disney animation animated cartoon family musical ("The wonder of wonder shows!"; "Walt Disney's Happy Comedy Musical"; "A Comedy Musical in Technicolor"; a compilation of short cartoons, each set to then current music, including a segment of Casey at the Bat) "presenting the talents [voices] of" Benny Goodman, Dinah Shore, The Andrew Sisters, Nelson Eddy, Jerry Colonna, Andy Russell, The King's Men, Sterling Holloway, and The Pied Pipers NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that it seems surprising that this movie received such a large deluxe pressbook (it is 14" x 17", and has 39 pages). Apparently, Disney went all out in promoting this movie, perhaps because they had paid a lot to get all the great musical talent who provided the music! 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! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. This large pressbook (14" x 17") is complete and uncut and was folded across the middle. The covers are separated from the rest of the pressbook, but not from each other. There are creases along the fold and tiny paper loss scattered on the spine, but otherwise, the pressbook is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
