Sleeping Beauty (1959) Original Movie Poster

Original Walt Disney Productions One Sheet Poster - re-release of 1979 - for the Clyde Geronimi animated fairy tale, SLEEPING BEAUTY (1959) starring the voices of Mary Costa, Bill Shirley, and Eleanor Audley. This feature was in active production from 1951 until the end of 1958 and was the last Disney animated feature to have cels inked by hand. The beautiful art direction is inspired by European medieval paintings and architecture, and the elaborate background paintings took between seven and ten days to paint. This is the first Disney animated feature released in 70mm. Though much of the soundtrack in based on the Tchaikovsky ballet, George Bruns received an Academy Award nomination for Best Musical Score for his original songs. This is a folded one sheet (27x41) in very fine condition. Colors are vivid. No pinholes, no tears, no fold separations.
