Auction History Result 1b323 FANTASIA 1sh R1956 great image of Mickey Mouse & others, Disney cartoon classic, different! Date Sold 10/16/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1956 Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 42" [69 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Walt Disney's Fantasia, the classic 1940 James Algar & Samuel Armstrong Walt Disney animated animation cartoon musical fantasy ("Walt Disney's Technicolor Feature Triumph") featuring Mickey Mouse and other cartoon characters created specifically for this feature movie, set to the music of classical composers including Leopold Stokowski, and Beethoven. Note that Fantasia had a very limited roadshow release which took place in several theaters with special audio equipment installed for the "Fantasound" system. This release started in late 1940 and continued into 1941, and these theaters often used home-made displays for the film. Throughout 1941, RKO negotiated with Disney to make a much shorter version of the movie in mono which could be shown in theaters without the need for special equipment. Disney finally agreed, and let RKO create a heavily edited version (he refused to edit it himself) which was released in early January of 1942. Regular posters were printed with a 1941 NSS number (it's not uncommon for films that are released near the start of a year to have a NSS from the previous year), and that is when the film had its first general release. So almost ALL of the known "first release" posters are from the 1942 continuous first release (with 1941 NSS numbers). The only pre-1942 advertising that we have seen are window cards, 8x10 stills and heralds from the theaters with the special "Fantasound" equipment. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a somewhat unusual poster. It resembles the "regular" R1956 poster for this movie but lacks the "Toot Whistle, Plunk and Boom" diamond and taglines at lower center (likely this poster was designed for use in theaters that were not equipped for Cinemascope). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this one-sheet measures 27" x 42" [69 x 107 cm]. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some spotty slight discoloration at upper right and there is some wear, creases and small tears along portions of the vertical foldline and edges. There is minor separation in some crossfolds. It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
