Disney, Hanna Barbera and Warners Brothers all on the one poster

John

Its quite rare to find characters from Disney, Hanna Barbera and Warner Brothers all on the one poster. Has anyone seen any similar examples?

Strange poster. Daybill size but cannot be a cinema poster due to the drawing of the television image of the1960-1966 series The Flintstones plus the three different rival companies featured would never have officially sanctioned a commercial cinema poster anyhow What is the background of the poster John? When and where did you acquire it and what type and decade were other posters from this poster purchase  were with? Also the lack of distributor, censorship rating or printers details make it a real mystery poster.

I think it is a stock cinema poster. Stock posters don't have ratings on them and this one clearly has some age to it. The poster came with a collection of posters from Blake Films. It is obviously unusual for three rival companies to appear on the same poster but strange things have happened with posters over the years. It is possible that The Flintstones cartoons might have been shown as shorts in the cinema in the 60s but hard to be sure.

I have just worked out  the daybill is a New Zealand stock poster. Columbia at one time were in Partnership with Warner Bros.and they also handled distribution of Disney product in New Zealand. Therefore The Flintstones image wasn't from the television series but from the 1966 motion picture The Man Called Flintstone. The Hanna Barbera image was throwing us when the emphasis should have been on Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros And Walt Disney.
