I wanted to add that I've ordered the following pressbooks, and that I should have the info out in about two weeks...
1958's Tonka
1964's Mary Poppins
1967's The Gnome-Mobile
In regards to Mary Poppins, this will be my third attempt at getting the original. The first attempt I received a program book, and on the second attempt I received a 1966 re-release for it. According to the seller, it does say Released by...Walt Disney, 1964, but in this copy, there are no Oscar symbols throughout, and no mention of winning 5 academy awards.
On a side note, I came across a listing for "The Sword And The Rose" pressbook, which Disneyfella just acquired, and the seller provided some scans. On scan 2 of 7, you can make out most of what Disneyfella already revealed...
http://www.guardianskins.com/the_sword_ ... _book#Next
""THE SWORD AND THE ROSE" IS THE FIRST WALT DISNEY FEATURE TO BE SHOWN ON THE GIANT MIRACLE-SCREEN
Wide-Screen Prints Are Available at All RKO Radio Exchanges"
It's a little blurry, but you can make out most of it, and I don't know how long it will be available.

You don't make the film fill your TV, be it 4:3 or 16:9, you make your TV fit the original ratio of the film. If that means a letterboxing or pillarboxing of a film, so be it.

Oh okay, I was going by the Live Action (Pre-1980) List. I guess it hasn't been updated in awhile. I see now it was released in Oct '09 (as well as "Tonka", which is down as not having been released on DVD on the Live-Action list) from the Disney Movie Club exclusives list.Escapay wrote:It's on DVD via Disney Movie Club, but I think it's only 1.33:1AlwaysOAR wrote:"Ten Who Dared" 1960 Premiere Release Information:

I received the following four pressbooks yesterday...all without projection instructions in them...
1964's The Three Lives of Thomasina ...stated runtime of 97 MINUTES, matching it's DVD release.
1965's Those Calloways ...stated runtime of 2 HOURS, 11 MINUTES, matching it's DVD release.
1965's The Monkey's Uncle ...stated runtime of 90 MINUTES, and I don't know the runtime on the Disney Movie Club release.
Also, the animated featurette, "Freewayphobia" premiered with this.
1979's Take Down ...stated runtime of 107 min., and has not been released on DVD.
This film was an American Film Consortium production, distributed by Buena Vista.
It seems more and more that in the years '63 through '65, they were not putting in the projection instructions...
I'll update the list shortly...

I've been busy going through a move, and spreading myself thin through work and research....but I did get another pressbook in:
Tex (original Premiere Pressbook information):
"The aspect ratio to capture all the drama of "Tex" is 1.75 to 1"
(NOTE: While the original theatrical framing is 1.75:1, the DVD release is both open matte 1.33:1 and over-matted to 1.85:1).
Thanks again, OAR, for all the hard work. I still come quite frequently to check for updates, and yours are always the most exciting. Looking forward to your next batch

The 1983 re-release of "The Sword In The Stone" you received, did it have projection instructions in it? If so, will add to the re-release section of list, and if not, will add to those re-releases not having that info.
And for the "That Darn Cat" re-release, do you know what year the re-release was in?
Anyway, hope all is well with your moving...

So I did lots of digging around, and I could not find my "Sword in the Stone" re-release pressbook. I'll keep looking.
I did however find the "That Darn Cat" re-release pressbook. It states several times on the pressbook that it is copyrighted 1965, and specifically states that this is a re-relase from Buena Vista.
I acutally have several movie memorabilia that I'm having professionally cleaned up and transferred. Lot of television spots from old films and a few trailers, and a lot of radio spots as well. Things I've collected over the years through ebay auctions. It is kind of cool because you can read about these media marketing campaigns in the pressbooks themselves. It creates a sense of timliness with each film and you can appreciate the effort that went into the release of every Disney film with the advertising campaign.
Anyway, gotta run. Will check back soon.

From what I can gather, "That Darn Cat!" was re-released in 1973, don't think it had a re-release between '65 and '73.disneyfella wrote:So I did lots of digging around, and I could not find my "Sword in the Stone" re-release pressbook. I'll keep looking.

I know when I got the first "Mary Poppins" pressbook I ordered, it wasn't the one for the premiere release even though it said copyrighted 1964, Walt Disney Productions, instead it was for the re-release that shortly followed in '66, as it had throughout the pressbook showing it having won 5 academy awards.
Probably an oversight/ typo as far as saying 1965 on the Darn Cat pressbook.

That Darn Cat was not releqasd in 1973...It was actually premiered in 1965. The pressbook I have states that it is a re-release, though, so perhaps Disney did the same with with That Darn Cat as Mary Poppins: re-released the film 1 year after premiere? Was That Darn Cat that popular? It is quite a fun film, but I didn't think it garnered near the acclaim as Poppins.
I'll keep my eyes peeled and see if I can't find any different pressbook for the premiere of the film.
Also,
I thought you guys might appreciate this link I found online. Check out The Sword in the Stone re-release TV Spots (when it was shown with a Winnie the Pooh short in theatres):

The pressbook I have states that it is a re-release, though, so perhaps Disney did the same with with That Darn Cat as Mary Poppins: re-released the film 1 year after premiere? Was That Darn Cat that popular? It is quite a fun film, but I didn't think it garnered near the acclaim as Poppins.
Anyway, my guess is that when they made the pressbook for this re-release, they just forgot/ didn't notice they had '65 on it instead of it's re-release year. I did a little digging, and the only year I could find that it got re-released in was '73, which is probably the year for this re-release pressbook you have.From what I can gather, "That Darn Cat!" was re-released in 1973, don't think it had a re-release between '65 and '73.

You don't make the film fill your TV, be it 4:3 or 16:9, you make your TV fit the original ratio of the film. If that means a letterboxing or pillarboxing of a film, so be it.

Just fot in the Pressbook for "Moon Pilot". It has the following text:
"Mr. Exhibitor...Please Note!
Put your patrons in the top entertainment hemisphere and give them the best possible picture on your theatre screen. For maximum projection results in the presentation of Walt Disney's "Moon Pilot" be sure not to exceed Aspect Ratio 1:75 to 1. WARNING: If projected at a ratio less than 1:75 to 1 there will be a black border at the top and/or bottom of screen!"
That makes another 1.75:1. And also another hard matted print released as well.
