A unique behind-the-scenes look at creative process of
"Walt Disney's Pinocchio" from before the movie was finished! During the production of Walt Disney's classic
"Pinocchio," Walt Disney had a legal problem. Once completed, he could
copyright the movie. But during the several years-long production
process, the story would go unprotected. And the basic tale of
Pinocchio was already public domain, written in 1883 by Carlo Collodi.
But Walt Disney added unique elements making it all his own-- if only he
could claim copyright. What if an unscrupulous publisher or producer
got a hold of a script or drawings and rushed out a children's book or worse
yet, a low budget knock-off movie? Walt had had his creations usurped before-- it had only
been a little more than a decade since Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was taken
from him. So in order to copyright the unique elements of Walt
Disney's version of Pinocchio, the lawyers came up with a plan: Take
the script and the production story drawings in their raw form and create a
limited publishing run in a unique book-like format not meant for public
sale, but to stake out the intellectual property rights. Producing
100 of these unusual production publications would be enough to secure the
copyright in the United States, and another 100 published in England would
secure the U.K. rights. Here I'm pleased to present one of the 100 books published in
England.
The forward of this publication states (in part):
"This book records the development of characters and basic story of Walt Disney's second feature length animated motion picture, "Pinocchio." The story depicts the adventures of a little wooden marionette who comes to life. It is derived from the well-known children's classic by Collidi and as presented here in the form of a written continuity, character model sheets and story sketches.... These rough pencil sketches, and thousands more like them, serve collectively has a plan or master pattern for the completed picture. Their function is to outline the action of the story as it will appear ultimately on the screen..... With a characteristic in formality, indicated by the traditional animation studio prop– the pushpin– the following pages offer an intimate backstage view of a Walt Disney picture in the making."
The book is numbered 63 out 100. This unique
behind-the-scenes look at creative process of PINOCCHIO depicts over 200
storyboard drawings, 66 character model sheets, contains 11 pages of story
outline, and 14 images of character maquettes (3 dimensional sculpted models) spread over 41 large pages.
Book measures 12" x 10". Some soiling and minor wear to cloth covers
as shown in photos above; otherwise very fine condition. Includes the
Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity. Item #
1851B, $1495

1960's
Electric Disneyland Monorail Train by Schuco Tested and Guaranteed to Run! |
|
 |
 |
|
(clickable for a larger view) The finest Disneyland toy ever produced! Beginning in 1961 the Schuco company manufactured this precision-made electric monorail train to the highest German standards. Almost 15" long, these ELEVATED trains were produced for only a few short years and then  production closed forever. The finely crafted train was expensive by 1960’s
standards and few could afford them. Not the cheap battery-operated
"kids" monorails produced by Disney recently, but 18 volt DC powered
electric train sets with variable speed in forward and reverse, with metal trim
(just the way Imagineer Bob Gurr designed the full size originals)! A
transformer was not included with these sets (!) but the trains will run from
any standard American 12 to 20 volt electric train transformer
(I highly recommend the LGB 50081 transformer available on eBay
for about $80). Th is train has been tested and is guaranteed to run!This monorail has been tuned up and runs really well. Add a transformer and this train is ready to go! All the accessories are present (the red and black wires are modern replacements) and I have included a photocopy of the instructions and my own tip sheet for setting up your Schuco Monorail and making it run like a charm. Box shows some wear and repair but with bright Matterhorn Mountain graphics. An amazing Disneyland model train set, still ready to ride the rails after 60 years! Item # 8837, $1095 About $109/Month on Layaway!*
