A Rare, Hard to Find Original 1959 STYLE B One Sheet poster on LINEN BACKING in VERY GOOD+ condition. An animation classic that displays age-appropriate signs of use including light edge & fold wear. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some fold lines. There were a few tiny creases and scuffs on parts of folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed and displays extremely well! Linen border is one to two inches outside poster border. 

NOTE that this Style-B one-sheet has an unusual art style. The art is full, with only the title laid over. No credits. No Hype. This type of poster is very rare and hardly ever seen in posters of this era. This curious fact makes this very hard to find style of poster, very desirable to Walt Disney collectors!

Summary: After being snubbed by the royal family, a malevolent fairy places a curse on a princess which only a prince can break, along with the help of three good fairies. After the beautiful Princess Aurora is born into royalty, the entire kingdom gathers to celebrate, including three good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. Everything is perfectly fine until an uninvited guest appears, the evil fairy Maleficent. Maleficent curses the young princess by announcing that she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel's spindle and die before sunset on her 16th birthday. Fortunately, one of the good fairies, Merryweather, softens the curse so Aurora will not die, but only fall into a deep sleep instead, and the only way to wake her from her sleep is true love's kiss. Finally, the day comes.
