1939 Disney Pinocchio Dye-Transfer Prints Set of 2 Disney Studio VIP Gift RARE For Sale

Item DescriptionA Museum-Quality Piece of Animation History for the Ultimate Disney ConnoisseurUp for sale is an exceptionally rare, authentic set of two (2) vintage Pinocchio Dye-Transfer Prints, produced directly by the Walt Disney Studio in 1939.Before Pinocchio debuted in theaters in early 1940 as Disney's second full-length animated masterpiece, the studio created an extremely limited run of these ultra-premium prints. They were never sold to the public; instead, they were created exclusively as VIP gifts and promotional tokens for studio executives, distributors, and high-profile guests.Stunning 1930s Color Saturation & QualityUnlike standard lithographs, the dye-transfer process used by Disney in the 1930s allowed for an incredibly rich, deep, and vibrant ink saturation. The colors on these prints remain remarkably vivid, beautifully capturing the lush, watercolor-style backgrounds and sharp character lines that defined Disney's Golden Era.The Two Included Scenes:

1. Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket: A beautiful, intimate moment where Pinocchio sits up and takes notice of his newly appointed "conscience."
2. The Climax Sequence: A spectacular, high-action scene showcasing a partially transformed Pinocchio (complete with donkey ears and tail from Pleasure Island) alongside Geppetto, Cleo the goldfish, and Figaro the cat.

Authentication & Specifications:

• Studio Markings: Each print features the authentic "W.D.P." stamp on the bottom right of the image area.
• Copyright Text: Stamped with "copyright 1939, by Walt Disney Productions" on the bottom left of each page.
• Dimensions: Image area is approximately 10" x 8" on larger 15" x 13" sheets of heavy paper.

Condition Report:These 87-year-old studio survivors are in Very Good vintage condition. They exhibit light handling and minor edge wear consistent with age, alongside minor staining on the white borders (which would easily be hidden if matted and framed). Print #2 features a tiny, vintage stray red dot of paint to the right of Geppetto's head, which does not distract from the main characters. They have been stored flat in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment.An absolute must-have centerpiece for any serious Disneyana, animation art, or Pinocchio collector. Opportunities to acquire a matching pre-release pair like this are incredibly rare.Item Specifics
