Original 1938 Photograph at the Piano

Original 10 x 8 inch glossy photograph of the great animator looking over Stokowski's shoulder at the piano in 1938, as they discuss the possibility of extending the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" short into a full animated film -- which in 1940 would become Fantasia. Stamped by The Walt Disney Company on the verso and in very fine condition.

In 1939, Stokowski collaborated with Walt Disney to create the motion picture for which he is best known: Fantasia. He conducted all the music (with the exception of a "jam session" in the middle of the film) and included his own orchestrations for the Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria segments. Stokowski even got to talk to (and shake hands with) Mickey Mouse on screen, although he would later say with a smile that Mickey Mouse got to shake hands with him. (15025)
