THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 26, 1951
* Disney's animated movie "Alice in Wonderland" is introduced to the world
* World premiere advertisement for Manhattan
Page 17 has a nice half page advertisement for the premiere showings of "ALICE IN WONDERLAND" before it's general release across the country. Was this the earliest advertisement in a publication for this Walt Disney classic ?
Complete with 46 pages, light toning at the margins, nice condition.
AI notes: On July 26, 1951, Walt Disney’s animated film Alice in Wonderland premiered in the United States with a special debut across three major New York City theaters. This marked a significant event for Disney, as the studio had been developing the adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s whimsical and surreal novels for over a decade. The premiere was part of a high-profile release strategy, though the film initially received a mixed reception from critics and audiences, many of whom found its abstract tone and episodic structure unconventional compared to previous Disney features. Despite its lukewarm debut, Alice in Wonderland would later gain widespread acclaim and a devoted following, particularly after being reintroduced to audiences through television broadcasts in the 1950s and 60s and subsequent home video releases.
