Last night marked the end of the JustKidsNostalgia.com Disneyana auction, which showcased hundreds of very rare Disneyana items, including several fromSong of the South. Among the most notable prices realized: a 1946 Six Sheet movie poster ($1,281.85); 1946 Three Sheet movie poster ($1,179.51); 1946 Campaign Book ($631.56); and a 1956 Six Sheet movie poster ($584.43).
While the theatrical posters were way out of my league, I was very fortunate to obtain three publicity photo sets, totaling 26 photos. These rarely-seen photographs were taken directly from Disney Key Book albums (reference guides used by the studio), and include shots of the original opening credits of the film, animators behind the scenes actually working on the film, and several publicity shots of Glenn Leedy, Bobby Driscoll, and Luana Patten. Of course I will be posting them on this website in the Archives section in the coming weeks, so keep a lookout!
