Disney Christmas Card 1935

[drleevezan]

Thought I'd share this Disney employee Christmas card from 1935. Some of the images have site watermarks on them because I had to get each image off of a different site, because no site showed the entire thing. I put the captions under each picture because they're too small to see in the image.


First page: A Christmas Party at Mickey's House/was a signal for oodles of fun/and all of the gang arrived with gifts/Which were opened one by one

Second page: Mickey's Orphans: Somebody gave those orphan kids/Another thousand tricks/Which ought to make it pretty tough/On ducks in '36
Clarabelle: Christmas Bells for Clarabelle Cow/Will ring through the coming year/For she'll be wearing 'round her neck/Her new electric lavaliere

Third page: Goofy: The Cuckoo Clock that Goofy got/Popped out, and laid him flat/It would have knocked him silly/But he was already that!
Horace: Horace is so swelled with pride/That he will squander his last dollar/For a picture, which will be/A handsome group: Himself and collar

Fourth Page: Donald: Oh boy, oh boy! Was Donald cross!/He nearly died of fright/Then stormed and ranted 'round the room/And quacked: "Ya wanna fight?"
Pluto: Cat-hater Pluto grinned and said/"I'd rather chase 'em, but -- Aw, rats!/I can't today, because it's Christmas!/Peace on earth! Good will to cats!"

Fifth page: Clara Cluck: An atomizer is the draw/For Clara Cluck, the barnyard star/To spray her obligate, and/To lubricate her repertoire
Minnie: Minnie surely liked her hat/It looked so cute and chic and tricky/Made by Monsieur Michel Mousse!/(Which, we hope, is French for Mickey!)

Sixth page: Mickey: The new band leader's uniform/For Mickey makes a hit/He looks so pleased about it that/We think he'll have a fit
Practical, Fiddler, and Fifer: The Pigs got a break from Santa/They're set for the season at least/All safe from the claws/Of the old wolf, because/They're harder to catch when they're greased

Seventh page: Zeke Wolf and his nephews: For The Big Bad Wolf and Family/From The Three Little Pigs

I assume these were pages in Mickey Mouse Magazine in December 1935.

Well, I found out about it originally from this article, which stated that it was an employee Christmas card and is on an official Disney website: d23.com/a-tradition-of-disney-studio-christmas-cards/. But, I suppose it could be wrong, you might be right about it being from Mickey Mouse Magazine. I was just going by what it said there.

Well, its newsprint pages have staple paper discolouration on the folded crease between the two pages, just like they appear in old comic books.  If not handed out to Disney employees first, and later printed in Mickey Mouse Magazine, it could have been a several page folded newsprint "pamphlet", first handed out to Disney employees, and later, printed in the newspapers which carried the "Mickey Mouse" and "Silly Symphonies" strips.  It looks too official and expensively produced to have just been used to give to employees.  As they had made it anyway, they would not waste it, always needing several pages of comics for both "Mickey Mouse Magazine", and their syndicated newspaper strips.  now that I think about it, I would guess that they probably used it as cards for employees, AND for holiday greetings BOTH in "Mickey Mouse Magazine", AND in their newspaper strips.

These are cool. It is nice that Santa includes the wolves.
