Mickey Mouse Stock Poster (Celebrity Productions, 1928). One Sheet (27 X 41). , In October 1927, Walt Disney, like many of his contemporary filmmakers, saw Warner Brothers The Jazz Singer and was inspired by the use of synchronized sound to film. He envisioned a cartoon with the same abilities and set about developing a character that the new sound process would be good for. He had been creating a series of cartoons featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit for Universal, however, in early 1928 he lost the rights to the character and was forced out of the studio. Subsequently, and in collaboration with his good friend Ub Iwerks, he co-created and developed Mickey Mouse. The first two cartoons, Plane Crazy and The Gallopin Gaucho were silent, but Disney was persuaded by Pat Powers to use his Cinephone sound system for the third Mouse short, Steamboat Willie. The first two Mickey Mouse short subjects also failed to attract a distributor, but with the fully synchronized soundtrack on Steamboat Willie, Celebrity Productions agreed to distribute the fledgling cartoons. The cartoon had its world premiere on November 18, 1928 and the rest, as they say, was history, as Mickey Mouse went on to become the greatest cartoon character of all time. This one sheet is from the very short period of time that Disneys Mickey Mouse cartoons were distributed by Celebrity Productions. They distributed every Mickey Mouse short from November 1928 through December 1929 -- a total of twelve cartoons. Beginning in January of 1930, all of Disneys cartoons would be distributed by Columbia Pictures. It is likely that there were no individual one sheets produced by Celebrity Productions as they were a very low budget distributor (and the country was in a deep depression) and in fact, no individual cartoon one sheets for Mouse shorts from Celebrity have ever been seen. So this is very likely the only poster created for Mickey until the 1930 era. Therefore, this is the original and very first appeara
