One of my favorite Disney animated features, 101 Dalmatians, will be re-released on DVD on March 4, 2008, 47 years after the original January 25th theatrical release. This 79 minute animated feature has won several awards throughout the years including a BAFTA award. It stars the voice talents of Rod Taylor, as the voice of Pongo, Betty Lou Gerson, as the voice of Cruella De Vill, and Cate Banes, as the voice of Perdita.
Every time a Disney animated feature comes out I like to collect the promotional materials, including the movie posters. These materials are great collector’s items, as well as fantastic works of art. If you are interested in collecting movie memorabilia, then Disney movie posters are a great place to start. I like to collect movie posters designed for the animated films because you can watch how the promotional designs change each time the film is released.
If you are interested in collecting movie posters as an investment, then you need to make sure that you display and preserve your posters correctly to protect its value. To start with you need to make sure you are working with mounting and framing materials that won’t have a negative reaction with the paper and inks used to print the poster with. Next you want to make sure that your mounting process doesn’t inadvertently damage the poster. Be especially careful when selecting mounting glues and tapes.
If you are looking for a fun hobby consider collecting enchanting family film posters, classical animated movie posters or action adventure movie posters.
