A visionary in the world of animation, Walt Disney is a name linked to countless animated features from the last eighty years. Back in 1934, Walt Disney had the idea to create a full length animated film called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. At the time the idea of a full length animated film seemed impossible, and many thought Walt couldn’t accomplish such a feat. However, the film went on to become an international sensation and made the Walt Disney Company a household name. His perseverance allowed the creation of other famous films like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Alice in Wonderland. Even though the Disney company has now branched out to create other franchises they are still widely recognized for their animated films.
Walt Disney memorabilia has been a hit with RR Auction’s buyers, especially those related to Disney films he had a hand in making. Walt Disney signatures and signed photos have been highly sought after, such as this vintage portrait of Walt featuring his sweeping signature. We have also had the honor of offering this unused 1965 Disneyland gold pass issued to California governor Goodwin J. Knight and his wife signed by Walt in blue ballpoint.
You can also find items from some of the company’s lesser known films at RR Auction, like Walt Disney’s hand annotated copy of the script for the 1965 live-action film, That Darn Cat. Originally based on former FBI agent Gordon Gordon’s The Undercover Cat, Walt informed the Federal Bureau of Investigation that he would be making the novel into a feature film after obtaining the rights. Former president Herbert Hoover did not trust that Walt would paint the FBI in a good light, causing the film’s production to be heavily monitored by the Bureau. However, Hoover’s concerns turned out to be unfounded as the FBI’s reputation remained unscathed once the film was released.
