Original Walt Disney Pictures 'Cheetah' Theatrical Movie Poster (1989)

This is an original printed paper theatrical poster for the 1989 Walt Disney Pictures film 'Cheetah'. The poster features a split-level design: the top two-thirds depicts the main cast, including a large cheetah perched on a log, a man in safari gear, a woman, and a young Maasai warrior against a sunset savanna background. The bottom third is a white promotional block highlighting a 'special added attraction,' the classic cartoon 'Mickey and the Seal'. Key text includes 'Walt Disney Pictures Presents Cheetah' in red at the top and 'OPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 18' at the bottom. The color palette is dominated by warm oranges, yellows, and earthy browns in the cinematic portion, contrasted by bold red and blue text in the lower section. Condition-wise, the poster exhibits significant physical wear characteristic of storage or theater use. There is a deep horizontal center fold and vertical creasing, suggesting it was once folded for shipping. The edges show visible fraying, curling, and several small tears, particularly along the left and right margins. There is noticeable surface scuffing, some discoloration or foxing consistent with its age of approximately 35 years, and minor loss of pigment along the fold lines. The printing quality shows the standard lithographic process of the late 1980s with legible, though slightly faded, credit blocks at the bottom of the image area.
