Description

Fantasia (RKO, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style B. Walt Disney's animated masterpiece was developed from a short-subject cartoon that was based on the Paul Dukas musical piece "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Mickey Mouse starred in the eight-minute short that was orchestrated by Leopold Stokowski. Disney and Stokowski both liked the finished product so well that they decided to expand the production from a short subject into a full two hour feature. Seven classical music selections were incorporated into this animation masterpiece including: Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite", Beethoven's "Pastorale Symphony" and Schubert's "Ave Maria." Featured here is the very rare Style B one sheet picturing the famous mouse himself as the apprentice. This is the first time we have ever offered this one sheet in auction. The poster has minor fold wear and a couple of minor border chips the size of a small fingernail. You should bid while you can on this gorgeous example as it may be a long time before another copy of this poster surfaces. Very Fine on Linen.
