    Description

    Amazing 50 year old press kit for the 1970 re-release of Walt DIsney's Animation Classic Sleeping Beauty. This unique packet includes three softcover staple-bound 'books.' I have photographed the cover of each book and a sample page from each. Here's the description of each book.
    1. Story in Pictures
    - 6 pages briefly present the plot of the movie. Each page has a 9.5 by 6.5 black and white glossy photo which was originally attached to the page manually with glue. It has dried up so the photos are completely intact but detached from the photo.
    The front of the photos exhibit no glue residue.
    The bottom of each page has a caption describing the scene in the photo. The scenes are (a) burning of the spinning wheels (shown in my photo), (b) the good fairies convincing the king and queen to put the princess in their care, (c) princess dancing with her forest friends while Phillip watches from his horse, (d) Maleficent and a spinning wheel about to put Aurora into a trance, (e) Phillip fighting the dragon Maleficent, (f) Phillip awakens the princess with a kiss.
    2. Production Scenes
    - 10 pages presenting key scenes from the movie.

    I see the word  'scarce' in Ebay listings often, but I use that word very sparingly. I have collected Disney memorabilia for 44 years and this is the first of this type of press kit I have ever seen.
