Walt Disney Presents Fantasia Souvenir Programme 1940
CollectingCollectables.com is selling this very rare souvenir programme for Walt Disney’s Fantasia which is dated to the inside front cover as 1940, the year in which this film was released, and the third animation feature length film, preceded by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio.
The front cover bears the image of Mickey Mouse dressed as The Magician with other characters surrounding the large title to the centre of this incredibly impressive cover.
The back cover has a small image of a cherub with wings showing her bottom to the centre.
The covers are in Near Fine condition with very light age toning to the front cover and an extremely small corner loss to the bottom right corner of the front cover. The back cover is in Fine condition.
Internally this rare programme is in Fine and fresh condition with all 30 pages (unpaginated and including the endpapers) packed with a huge amount of of detail on the production of Walt Disney’s third animation feature length film, Fantasia, illustrations, and candid photographs of Walt Disney at work during production.
It is interesting to note that this film was originally released by Walt Disney Productions and in its original form ran for 2 hours and 20 minutes. This was not a commercial success, and was re-released by RKO Radio Pictures in 1941 at the reduced time of 81 minutes. This makes original memorabilia from the first release very scarce and desirable.
This large Fantasia programme measures 13.00 x 9.50 inches, is incredible condition and provides a magnificently rare insight into the making of an early Disney feature length film, making this a great piece of Disneyana and film memorabilia
