P3D Re: Ub Iwerks

Mickey Mouse was as I recall originally drawn by Iwerks while under
contract to Disney. Walt did contribute his voice for the first speaking
Mickey film, though.

After a split with Disney Iwerks went on to make a number of animated
cartoons on his own, I used to own a poster for a short he did entitled
"The Little Red Hen" until a cartoon collector offered me a sizable sum for
it, I was trying to hold out for an original Disney short cartoon poster
and willing to throw in some cash besides. Suppliers of vintage movie
posters rarely run into such items these days. Even before the demise of
National Screen Service they were really scarce. The end of NSS meant there
were no more warehouse finds from them.

Heard a rumor that the Vincent Price narrated "Tell-tale Heart" polarized
cartoon opened the re-release of "Dial M For Murder" with no confirmation.
It didn't play in Houston or I would have seen it. Still my favorite 3-D
film is "House of Wax" and have a poster for "Bwana Devil" Robert Stack
signed for me.

As I haven't seen it is "BD" any good at all?
