"It's Scrumdiddlyumptious!". A rare, vibrant Australian Three-Sheet for the musical adventure Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971). The film was based on the Roald Dahl story and starred Gene Wilder as the eccentric founder of the Wonka Chocolate empire. Wonka takes centre stage in this poster design, surrounded by a whimsical design including some of the most memorable scenes from the movie. A personal favourite is the image of an inflated Violet Beauregarde. Rarely seen on the market, this large format (this is the first time we have offered one in auction) Australian three-sheet is presented in three pieces and has retained its bright colours.

(Approx.): 40" x 81" (102 x 206 cm)

Condition: Fine+

Folded and in three pieces (as issued). Some handling wear with some small tears around the borders. There's a scattering of large pinhole-sized holes in the flowers in the top-right section of the poster. However, the colours are bright and saturated making for a great display piece.

Artist: Unknown Artist
