Description

Fantasyland's Mad Tea Party/Dumbo Carousel Disneyland Attraction Poster (Walt Disney Productions, 1955). Vintage original hand-pulled silkscreened poster measuring 36" x 54" and designed by renowned Disney artist Bjorn Aronson. Nestled within the heart of Disneyland's most magical park, the original Mad Tea Party and Dumbo Carousel rides were created as tributes to the wonder and joy Walt Disney hoped to bestow upon generations of visitors. First unveiled in 1955, the Mad Tea Party beckoned guests to embark on a delightful journey into a world where teacups twirl and laughter knows no bounds. Adjacent to the mirthful dance of teacups is the gracefully designed Dumbo Carousel ride. Originally built with the intention to represent the alcohol-induced "pink elephants" scene from the film, the elephants were pink upon installation and later painted gray after Walt Disney's objections for fear of guests boarding a hallucination-themed ride. Both attractions were original opening day rides which have stood the test of time, capturing the essence of Disneyland's original enchantment and continuing to enthrall and captivate visitors today. Displays edge and corner wear with instances of clear tape across the back, creases, a few minor scuffs, and subtle tearing to the top border. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.
