Est. $2,500-$3,000 Walt Disney Autograph in Exhibit Quality Framed Presentation W/Vintage Photographs at Disneyland - This special piece is an autograph from Walt Disney, acquired from a fan visiting Disneyland in the early 1960s. Walt Disney would occasionally eat inside the Red Wagon Inn, and accommodate kids and adults by signing autographs until a large crowd gathered. The signature has been beautifully framed in an exhibit quality presentation, containing three vintage black and white photographs of Walt Disney at Disneyland along with an information plaque about the piece. The presentation measures approx. 24.75" x 25.75". Walt Disney (1901-1966) was an American entrepreneur, animator, voice actor and film producer. He was a pioneer of the American animation industry, and introduced several developments in the production of cartoons. As a film producer, Disney holds the record for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He was presented with two Golden Globe Special Achievement Awards and an Emmy Award, among other honors. Several of his films are also included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. "Disney" is one of the most famous names in the world, and The Walt Disney Family Museum records that he "along with members of his staff, received more than 950 honors and citations from throughout the world".
