This is the granddaddy of all Mickey Mouse posters and the most expensive Disney collectible that isn’t a movie prop or a 100-pound Mickey statue made out of solid gold. It’s a pristine, 27-inch-by-41-inch poster for Disney’s “The Mad Doctor” cartoon from 1933, and it’s just awesome.
This piece of art features Mickey strapped to what looks like an electric chair while a maniacal doctor sharpens a knife with glee.
Just look at this thing. It’s incredible. Both Disney fans and horror fans alike would drool over having this utterly rare item hanging in their home. This was the poster for Mickey Mouse’s 52nd short film and ended up being one of United Artists’ last cartoon posters.
One of these posters in very fine condition sold for $138,000 in 2006, and it seemed to resell again in 2009, but only for $107,550. Since then, it hasn’t gone on the market.
While there are numerous Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories comics, there are only a handful of these “Mad Doctor” posters, making them the most valuable Disney collectible on the planet.
