A guaranteed original U.S. 'half sheet' movie poster from the 1954 release of Hamilton Luske and Ben Sharpsteen's 1940 Disney fairy tale "Pinocchio", based on the 1883 children's book "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Italian author and journalist Carlo Collodi.

The second of Disney's animated movies, it became the first animated feature film to win a competitive Oscar - actually winning two - for Best Music (Original Score) and Best Music (Original Song) for When You Wish Upon A Star.

However, due in part to World War II, the movie was initially a box office disaster. The post war release (1945) was however a great success and this beautiful film is now recognised as an animation classic, with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This incredible movie poster is a really rare one! An example of the smaller 'half sheet' format, it was produced in the U.S. for the 1954 release of the film. To aid its conservation, it has been paper-backed at some point in its seventy year life. A really rare and special poster that will look amazing framed and on the wall of any collector or Disney fan. We adore it.

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.

Note: This poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Original Poster Buying Guide

Authenticity & Original Posters

Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.

Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.

Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Condition & Age

Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.

Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.

Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.

Poster Formats & Dimensions

Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.

Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.

These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.

Framing Options

Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.

Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.

Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.

Packaging & Delivery

Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.

Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
