One-Sheet (27" x 40.5")
Very Fine- on Linen
Powers ComiColor, 1936
Full of singing, dancing, and hilarity, this early Ub Iwerks cartoon finds Big Bad Wolf stealing one of Little Bo Peep's beloved sheep. This color-rich one-sheet is a superb find for fans of animation.
Before restoration, there were some tears along the right side of the upper horizontal fold. There was another tear on the left side of the poster going into the upper left blue background. The lower right corner was torn off at one time. All of these issues were addressed during restoration, and as most of the problems were affecting the border and the blue background, the poster's central image is quite lovely.
Nursery rhyme and fairy-tale-riffing Comicolor cartoon directed by Ub Iwerks, which sees Little Boy Blue and Little Bo Peep teaming up with a dancing scarecrow (voiced by Jack Mercer, aka Popeye) to take on The Big Bad Wolf.
Estimate: $1,200 - 2,400
