I also mentioned WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR the other day in my response to your post here on MoPo. (But I have the feeling most of my posts aren't even making it onto the board for some reason. Which means you likely won't see this either.)

I posted this on Facebook and animation expert Jerry Beck said the reason for the one-sheet featuring Jiminy Cricket was likely because "When You Wish Upon a Star" had become a huge hit after the movie came out, and that makes sense to me. But Helmut's observation is also correct. We often forget that theaters would have lots of posters on display, sometimes cutting them up and re-arranging them into home-made special displays.

However, imagine both the one-sheet AND the three-sheet combined on display in front of the cinema: Completely different story. To me, both posters in combination work extremely well. With the large puppet on the 3s and all the secondary characters on the 1s, the overall impression must've been really nice. Helmut The first time I saw this 1945 Pinocchio re-release one-sheet many years ago I thought it quite odd for two reasons. First, it was from just five years after the initial release, and yet the movie was re-titled to "Wonderful Adventures of Pinocchio", but what was much more odd was that the poster almost doesn't have Pinocchio on it (see the below image)! <http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA131222/550/pinocchio_R45_MF 02803_L.jpg> I guessed at that time that maybe the movie wasn't so popular the first go-round, and so maybe they were trying to get it off of just being about the wooden puppet and onto the great secondary characters (which might also have explained the name change). But then recently I auctioned the three-sheet from this 1954 re-release, which I had never had before, and it has the same re-titling, and yet it has a huge image of Pinocchio (see the below image) so that seems to shoot the above theory! <http://emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA131219/550/3sh_pinocchio_R54_JC 08859_L.jpg> The R54 three-sheet sold for $443. The R45 one-sheet (closing tomorrow at http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail <http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1= 3235865> &Auction_uid1=3235865) is currently at $105. There are also 998 other folded one-sheets closing Sunday at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/15.html, and with less than a day to go, there are still over half the items at $5 or under. -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
