While this book in and of itself is rare, adding to its value from a collector's standpoint is the fact that it features the character "Sunflower" which was deleted from the film by Disney. Whitman #950 is 13x13" © 1940. Has cardboard cover and four interior pages, all w/exceptional punchout pieces. Inside front cover text includes "Instructions For Setting Up And Putting Into Action The Panorama Of Mickey's Orchestra And The Ballet Of Comic Dancers." The back of one other page also features detailed "Program Of Mickey Mouse's Fantasia." Back cover has inset illustration of assembled cut-out book w/suggested arrangement around the bkg. The punchouts include Ben Ali Gator, Mlle. Upanova, Bacchus and Jacchus, Hyacinth Hippo, Elephant Dancer, Baby Pegasus, Zeus, Malinda the Centaurette, Brudus the Centaur, Mickey as Sorcerer's Apprentice, others. The most interesting punchout is for character "Sunflower" which depicts a young Black centaurette eating a slice of watermelon. Starting w/1960 theatrical re-release of the film Sunflower was cut from the movie. In all of the various releases of Fantasia, on video cassette, laser disc and DVD, she has remained missing. She originally appeared in the Pastoral Symphony section of the film and was featured in three shots performing menial duties for the white female centaurettes. Has just the slightest hint of cover aging but remains an extraordinary copy w/rich vibrant color. Essentially N. Mint.
