Walt Disney personal hand annotated script for Cinderella. (Walt Disney, 1945) Vintage original 147-page work-in-progress script from 5 years before the animated classic was completed. One of the earliest known scripts. Contains detailed notes handwritten in red crayon by Walt throughout, including the first page which reads, "This was written to cover as much of the original Cinderella and also suggest animal characters who might aid the girl (and reduce animation of humans) while musical numbers are mentioned, this was not laid out to a musical comedy pattern." Further annotations include, "Decided to cut all this dream seq." and "Decided to cut nursery business". Especially interesting as the scenes that were cut can still be read. A total of 20-pages contain Walt's handwriting and edits! Ted Sears, the first head of Disney's story department, was responsible, along with Maurice Rapf, for writing the script. Ted Sears later had the script bound in leather with gold embossed title and his name. Fine condition.
