All I can think of is that perhaps the omission was because the animated feature was largely forgotten by the studio. I don't ever remember it being re-released in theaters or promoted like the other animated features were. It was only through the home video market and Disney Channel that I was able to view it for the first time in the 1980's.<br /><br />I would've thought Sleeping Beauty would be included as it was and still is considered one of the major Walt Disney classics. It was re-released in theaters just three years earlier in 1970. It does seem like a strange omission to me.<br /><br />I had thought about Alice not being included at the beginning too. The only thing I could guess is that she was a live-action character in a cartoon world and didn't have the iconic look or graphic appeal like the other characters that were represented in the artwork.<br /><br />Major Pepperidge. Weren't the Newman Laugh-O-Grams technically produced under Laugh-O-Gram Studios and not the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio? I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember reading. Either way, it's interesting what was included and not included in the artwork.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you both for commenting. It just makes me appreciate those early days and the history behind the beginnings of the Studio even more. Perhaps the exclusions were merely because they had to pick and choose. It would interesting to know what went on behind scenes in creating the 50th anniversary artwork.K.

I guess if you want to get really nerdy, the Newman Laugh-O-Grams even preceded the Alice comedies! Even with the financial loss, it seems odd that Sleeping Beauty isn't there.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-18906611213727156172017-04-26T15:58:34.887-07:002017-04-26T15:58:34.887-07:00I love Oswald, but I'm surprised he was includ...I love Oswald, but I'm surprised he was included on the anniversary postcard as he was still a Universal property at that time. And logistically, shouldn't the Alice Comedies be at the beginning, anyway?<br /><br />I imagine <i>Sleeping Beauty</i> wasn't included because it was such a huge financial loss for the studio. <i>The Sword and the Stone</i> is not represented, either.top_cat_jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365510398800837335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-74521157548485711232017-04-26T10:20:02.680-07:002017-04-26T10:20:02.680-07:00These are wonderful, Ken.

It is my favorite card. It's hard to believe the 50th Anniversary was over forty years ago. I'd love to see your Alice card.<br /><br />Alonzo P Hawk, I was really hoping you'd chime in today as you were utmost in mind when putting today's post together. He's a cool and memorable character.<br /><br />DrGoat, glad you enjoyed the cards. Free stuff is definitely rare nowadays and it's not as interesting as the older stuff.K.
