Auction History Result 4f1474 NEW SPIRIT 8x10 key book still 1942 Donald Duck grabbing at radio blaring out talk! Date Sold 5/9/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) The New Spirit, the 1942 Walt Disney animation animated cartoon World War II (WWII) propaganda documentary comedy short ("Distributed under the auspices of the War Activities Committee of the Motion Pictures Industry"; about filing federal income taxes; one of the series of documentary cartoons from The War Activities Committee, and created by Walt Disney Studios) featuring the voices of Clarence Nash (as Donald Duck), Cliff Edwards, Fred Shields, and The Sportsmen Quartet. Note that this cartoon was intended to "convince Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer that they can, and should, pay Uncle Sam this year with a grin", and because it was made after the U.S. entered World War II, it used Nazi images to explain that this new income tax would go towards buying munitions to be used against the Axis countries, and that made Donald's anger turn into happiness as he had "happy visions of Germans, Japs, and Italians being bombed by what his money bought". The cartoon ends with "Donald convinced that prompt income tax payment IS the finest service he can give his Uncle Sam"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this key book still had an extra 1" in the top border with punch holes, which was attached with a perforated linen-like material. That extra strip was trimmed off. Also note that this still is printed on Velox paper, but we believe it to surely be an original still. Sometimes, studios would run out of stills and have extras printed on different stock (and maybe it was because they were creating a special set of key book stills that caused them to have them printed on Velox paper). Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Learn More about condition grades
