BAMBI Print Autographed by Walt Disney

BAMBI... a true Walt Disney classic!  In June 2008, the American Film Institute announced "Ten Top Ten"—the best ten films in ten "classic" American film  genres- and Bambi was acknowledged as the third best film in the animation genre.   Back in Walt's day the Disney Studio made these high quality dye-transfer prints to give as high-end promotional items.   Dye-transfer prints capture all the vibrant colors of the original cels (and are often mistaken for cels).   

This wonderful print of Bambi, his rabbit friend Thumper and Flower the skunk is personally autographed on the matte by Walt Disney.   When signing prints like these, Walt Disney would choose a colored crayon from his desk (see photo inset at right) which complimented a color in the print .  Walt has signed with a giant signature measuring over 5 inches long.

Included is an email from the former owner:

"My father ran the ski school in Sugar Bowl, Norden, CA, from 1960 to 1995.  I'm sure you're aware of Walt Disney's involvement at Sugar Bowl, and that the first ski lift at the resort was named after him. One of the homeowners at the resort gifted my father two* framed Lithographs that appear to have been signed by Walt Disney. Now that he has passed, I'm considering selling them and gifting the proceeds to the Junior Ski Team at Sugar Bowl..."

 (*Please note this offering is for ONE of the two prints mentioned.)

"Walt Disney's BAMBI" is considered one of the finest animated films of all time.  Perhaps the quintessential Disney movie, BAMBI is one of those titles that gets Disney collectors excited.  Walt Disney’s signature is desirable on its own, but when he has autographed an item associated with one of this classic films or memorable characters (both in this case), the appeal is tremendous! Today these prints are prized by collectors as one of the most attractive and displayable of all Walt Disney autographed items.  Framed and ready to hang; measures approximately 15" x 14" overall.  Some minor scratches to print when viewed at an angle; otherwise superior condition with only minimal wear to frame.  A true showpiece!  Includes the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity.  Item # 8842, $8995
