If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Japanese poster, and it sold for $555. That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that this poster is really fascinating! When RKO first acquired the distribution rights to Disney cartoons in 1938, they created a great standee with a giant Mickey that theaters would put in their lobbies, and they created horizontal heavy stock posters for the first 1938 cartoon releases that could be inserted into the "hand" on the Mickey standee, so that it could be reused for each cartoon they showed. Amazingly, one of these standees and some of the horizontal cards have survived. But the discovery of this poster shows that these cartoons were also promoted in Japan with similar small horizontal posters (we don't know if there was any sort of Japanese standee to go with them!). This is surely one of the most rare Disney posters, because so few pre-World War II Japanese posters survive from ANY movie! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was folded down the middle and there are some faint brown dot stains in the top blank area. Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
