  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
  • Time Period Manufactured: Vintage (Pre-1968)
  • Franchise: Disney
  • Condition: This is the very first advertising Press Book of Shorts that included Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphonies - Walt signed with Columbia Pictures in late 1929 and this is the first official press release sent to theaters only in late 1929 to advertise the upcoming year of shorts and cartoons, specifically the addition of MICKEY MOUSE - Notice that Krazy Kat is also included - Size is 14" x 11", the same size as the Lobby Cards and it was encouraged for theaters to pull out these thick silk screen pages and display them as lobby cards, which is why this item is just about impossible to find today-- The pages are silkscreen, so very delicate and show cracks - The previous owner added staples at the spine - Please look at all the pictures to determine condition. I take Very LARGE Pictures so you can see clearly and determine the grade for yourself - This will come neatly displayed in a crystal clear bag - I ship flat and with Extreme care
  • Character/Story/Theme: Mickey Mouse

    Description

    An extremely Rare Disney collectible
    A bit of history:
    Walt Disney signed his first contract with Pat Powers in late 1928 for the brand new Mickey Mouse sound cartoon series. After only a few months Walt & Roy Disney discovered the contract was a bad decision and decided to go with
    Columbia
    Pictures in 1929
    for their new Silly Symphony series. Powers was miffed and Columbia elated. The relationship between Walt and Powers grew worse, strained to the breaking point in 1929, and Walt stopped making Mickey cartoons for Powers, ended their contract and immediately signed with Columbia in the Fall of 1929 for the upcoming year.
    Which is why Powers had access to only a handful of Mickey cartoons that were poorly distributed to theaters across the USA.
    Under Columbia all of the early Mickey
    Mouse cartoons (including Steamboat Willie) were seen for the very first time by millions.
    This special press book was the first to be sent to theaters promoting Mickey Mouse under their label.
