Description

WALT DISNEY’S MICKEY MOUSE THE FIRST 50 YEARS BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE NOVEMBER 18, 1978
For That Special Disney History and Mickey Mouse Collector!
You Are Bidding On A Rare 50th Birthday Tribute Titled: Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse: The First Fifty Years November 18, 1978 Mickey Mouse’s 50th Birthday
The year was 1978 and Mickey Mouse was turning 50 Years Old! How do you celebrate the year of birth of the most iconic cartoon character ever created when those who originally brought him to life had never established the specific date of his birth? That was the delimma that The Walt Disney Company had as they planned a one year celebration for Mickey Mouse during the year of 1978. It was finally determined that the official Birthdate of Mickey Mouse would be November 18, 1928, the date that Mickey Mouse premiered in Steamboat Willie at the Colony Theater in New York.
One of Disney’s “Nine Old Men” Ward Kimball went on a 57 City Tour with Mickey Mouse on a special Amtrak Train doing retrospective Mickey Mouse Cartoon Screenings. The train stopped in Chicago and did a screening at the Chicago Film Festival. They also had a big Screening at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art for the American Film Institute. The huge amount of publicity for Mickey’s 50th Birthday for the Mickey Mouse Cartoon Screenings at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York is well credited with the re-emergence of collecting Mickey Mouse memorabilia and developing that phenomenon into what we now call DISNEYANA!
This 16-page softcover book was officially published by Walt Disney Productions for that 50th Birthday Tribute Tour of the first 50 years of Mickey Mouse and was often handed out by Ward Kimball during the Cartoon Screenings.
This Book measures 8” x 8” and is in excellent condition for now being almost 45 YEARS OLD!
If you are a “Disneyana” Collector, then this Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse The First 50 Years November 18, 1978 Booklet that celebrates Mickey’s Birthday and was very much a part of the re-emergence of the collecting of Mickey Mouse memorabilia is one that should be displayed in your collection!
We are willing to work on the price for this item, therefore we have listed it as a BUY-IT-NOW item. You also have the opportunity to MAKE-AN-OFFER!
We have also been going through a large number of Disney Memorabilia boxes containing thousands of items that we have collected over the past 45 years! Take a look at our “OTHER ITEMS” and then mark our “Ebay Store” as one of your favorites. We will continue to add more Disney Memorabilia Items often!
