Walt Disney Autographed
Pinocchio & Jiminy Print!

Jiminy Cricket presents himself to Pinocchio in this wonderful scene from the 1940 Walt Disney classic.  Produced at the Disney Studio, a limited number of prints were made and never sold-- but given by the Disney Studio to select recipients as special gifts.  These high-quality prints were not available to the general public, but instead used by the Studio for promotional purposes (gifts to V.I.P.s, top-selling film salespeople, entertainment reporters, charity auctions, etcetera).  Many of these prints went unsigned, others were signed by Disney employees signing on behalf of their busy boss, and a rare few- such as this wonderful piece- were personally autographed by Walt Disney. 

This LARGE and handsome dye transfer print of Pinoke and his Official Conscience Jiminy Cricket is boldly autographed by Walt Disney on the matte in crayon.  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..."

 "Walt Disney's Pinocchio" is considered one of the finest animated films of all time.  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 15.5" x 15" overall.  In superior condition with only minimal wear to frame.  A true showpiece!  Includes the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity.  Item # 8841, $9950
About $995/Month on layaway!*
