About the Item

(85.4 x 63.5 cm) The poster is Linen-backed and conservation framed with UV plexiglass and would be boxed for shipping and shipped by Federal Express. Canine Casanova / Casanova Canine, 1945 This exceptionally rare poster has only surfaced a couple of times. This poster was designed to be used in 1950 for the first French release after World War II. This Walt Disney short stars Pluto, who falls in love with Dinah the dachshund, who ignores him. Pluto tries to win her favour and get a kiss, before Dinah is taken by the dogcatcher, and Pluto heroically goes to free her. Their exciting escape finally gets Pluto a kiss. Although Pluto is the main star in this animation, the designer Boris Grinsson used his artistic license and included Mickey, Mini, Goofy, Donald and his nephew, even though they do not appear in the animation. This poster is in excellent condition with the colors remaining very bright with minor restoration to the folds. The poster is linen-backed and conservation framed with UV plexiglass in an Obeche wood frame. The size given is before framing.
