The 1976 Jungle Cruise poster was the winner of the Golden Squeegy Award of 1976 -a silkscreening Guild Award--in fact WED/WDI won a good deal of these awards -mostly with attraction posters. See my blog on Disney Park Attraction Posters for mor info (attractionposter.blogspot.com) These were known as the "window" posters, because most of them use a scence or vehicle within a frame or window. Most of the early Disneyland posters were planned to be redone much in this style, but costs put some on the backburner, and were never completed. The posters that got the go-ahead the fastest, were posters that could be used for multiple parks....like Jungle Cruise 1976, Pirates of The Caribbean 1982, Big Thunder Mountain RR, 1979....(notice the frames and wwindows on all of these..??) Others got put on hold or were never completed because there were only at one park (Matterhorn Mountain Bobsleds 1978, 20,000 Leagues Under The sea, 1980) If the attraction had a sponsor, sometimes there was a budget for the poster (PeopleMover Thru Supper Speed Tunnel 1977<br />for example. Actually this poster was so over budget, that it's final two detail screens were left off -entirely...this also ate into the budget for the Space Mountain poster,and at that point could NOT be screened and was offset printed.<br />Other posters that are as elabortaly screened include The Mickey Mouse Revue 1983, Tokyo Disneyland, or the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour.MIKE COZARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616421722228113410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-10034511143391724002010-02-24T10:54:38.973-08:002010-02-24T10:54:38.973-08:00You know, I started to get sick of all of the Bice...You know, I started to get sick of all of the Bicentennial stuff at the time (my room was even decorated for it) but now the stuff looks great and fresh again!
