Description
Bambi Original Synopsis and Bound Book of Preliminary Art Prints (Walt Disney, 1942). For those wanting a peek "behind the scenes" of the making of an early Disney animated feature, this incredible Bambi lot will fill the bill -- and then some! First, there is typed "Bambi - Synopsis by Sequences" dated June 15, 1940. That date is in itself impressive, as the film premiered over two years later, on August 21, 1942. There are 20 single-sided pages, typed on 8.5" x 11" bond paper and stapled into a booklet. The entire story is told, from the opening scene, "Early Morning in the Forest" to the final sequence with Bambi, Faline, and their two small fawns as they stroll through the thicket. Next is a dream book for any collector of Disney Studio model sheets. This is a very rare studio "bible" for animators, a bound master set of 38 large photo-prints noted on the front cover as "BAMBI -- Preliminary Character Sketches." The artwork includes lots of drawn-from-nature sketches of young and old deer, rabbits, owls, skunks... in short, all the inspirations for what was eventually animated for the film. There are lots of action drawings of deer in motion, running and jumping. Most of the prints are dated to 1938-39, and the pages are arranged sequentially. The book is professionally bound with hard covers measuring 14" x 11.25" while the spine measures 1". Both the front cover and spine have gold-embossed lettering.These are actual items made in preparation for the animating of this classic Disney film, and show handling wear from studio use. They are fascinating to look through, and should be of major interest to collectors of Disney scripts and model sheets. Overall condition on both items is Good. From the Joe Hale Collection.
