One-Sheet (27" x 41")
Very Fine- Folded
RKO, 1950

This Technicolor masterpiece is well represented here by a beautiful one sheet capturing the moment in which Donald realizes that Louie is a real mountain lion and not his disguised nephews, and that his violent temper has once again gotten him in big trouble.

This poster has mostly minor issues to lower areas, including light fold and edge wear and slight lower cross-fold separation. There is some light paper warping in the lower quarter due to some water damage, but visually it's most evident in the white border areas only. Otherwise, the poster presents extremely well.

By the time Lion Around was released in 1950, Donald had become a true animation superstar, complete with a girlfriend, Daisy Duck, and a trio of mischievous nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, who are featured in this cartoon. They hatch a plan to scare Donald by dressing up as a lion in order to steal a pie he has baked, but they get their comeuppance when Louie the Mountain Lion, in his first screen appearance, enters the scene and scares them instead.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
