Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse 'The Mad Doctor' Movie Poster

This item is a framed illustrative poster for the 1933 Mickey Mouse short film titled 'The Mad Doctor.' The poster features classic early-animation graphics, depicting Mickey Mouse in a laboratory setting with Dr. XXX, an evil scientist characterized as a skeleton in a lab coat, and Pluto. The color palette is vibrant, dominated by a bright blue background with red and yellow typography at the top. The 'Mickey Mouse' title is stylized in large, red bubble letters. This specific piece is housed in a modern, thin black metal or plastic frame with a protective glass or acrylic front. Based on the uniform saturation and modern framing, it appears to be a contemporary high-quality reproduction of the original theatrical poster rather than a vintage lithograph from the 1930s. The paper appears flat and smooth with no visible foxing, creases, or acid burns often found in period-correct prints. The artwork represents the 'Rubber Hose' era of Disney animation, a period highly sought after by collectors of animation history. While the original 1933 posters are exceptionally rare, this reproduction serves as a decorative tribute to early cinematic history, presenting in excellent condition with no visible fading or structural damage to the frame.
