An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Melody, the 1953 Ward Kimball & Charles A. Nichols Walt Disney 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) family animated cartoon musical short ("First of the 'Adventures in Music series'"; "The screens first animated cartoon in 3-Dimension"). Note that this was the first cartoon ever filmed in 3D! There were two one-sheets created for this film. Both had the same image but used a different tagline for the 2D and 3D versions. This cartoon was the first in the planned "Adventures in Music" series and was followed by "Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom" which won the 1954 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons). However, perhaps because "Melody" came near the end of the 3D craze or because the shorts were animated using a "limited animation" technique that some fans and critics disliked, no other shorts were made for the series.

The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny areas of paper loss scattered across the bottom foldline and in the vertical foldline between the middle and bottom crossfolds. There was a lesser amount of wear on the other folds and a few faint stains, smudges, and tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the person who did so only did touch up to some of the defects, leaving alone the tiny paper loss described above (any restorer could perform additional restoration without re-backing the poster).
