This is an exceptionally rare original Japanese B2 poster for the first Japanese theatrical release of Walt Disney’s Fantasia. The film premiered in Japan on September 23, 1955, introducing audiences to Disney's groundbreaking animated musical anthology.

Fantasia was a revolutionary achievement. With a budget of $2.28 million—an enormous sum at the time—Disney employed over a thousand artists and technicians to bring this groundbreaking animation to life. Despite launching during the Great Depression, the film became a box office phenomenon, grossing approximately $76.4 million in the United States and Canada.
This 1955 Japanese edition celebrates the enduring legacy of a film that changed cinema forever. Ultra rare in this condition, it’s a museum-quality piece perfect for collectors of Disneyana, animation history, or rare international film posters.
