Description

Fantasia book beautifully signed by Walt Disney

Signed book: Fantasia. NY: Simon and Schuster, 1940. Hardcover, 10 x 13. Beautifully signed and inscribed on the title page in black ink 'To Dorothy and Blaney Harris, with best wishes, Walt Disney.' Book includes sixteen pages of colorful tipped in art panels, which are not found in all of these books, information on its production, and individual chapters on various pieces such as The Nutcracker, The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Dance of the Hours. Contains a foreward by Leopold Stokowski and an introduction written by Disney which reveals his pride and pleasure in the film: 'In a profession that has been an unending voyage of discovery in the realms of color, sound, and motion, Fantasia represents our most exciting adventure. At last, we have found a way to use in our medium the great music of all times and the flood of new ideas which it inspires.' In fine condition, with front cover binding a bit weak and a touch of light soiling to cover. The book alone is beautiful and enhanced manyfold by Disney's neatly penned signature.
