“Lonesome Ghosts” Disney Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Mondo and Sideshow Collectibles are teaming up once again to release an exciting new Disney print in their Disney Classic Cartoon Series by Tom Whalen! “Lonesome Ghosts” is based on the 1937 animated short of the same name and features Disney’s signature trio of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. What’s cool about this particular cartoon is that it’s rumored to have inspired another much beloved piece of ghost-busting cinema (should be an easy one to figure out). Whalen has really been knocking these posters out of the park, and I can’t wait to see what else is in the pipeline for 2012.

“Lonesome Ghosts” by Tom Whalen is an 18”x24” hand numbered screen print, and has a limited edition run size of 390 pieces. The print will retail for $45 and go on sale at a random time on today, Thursday, February 9th, at the Mondo online store.

“Two-Gun Mickey” Disney Screen Print by Tom Whalen

As 2011 winds down, Mondo wanted to make sure it got one more release in from its Disney Classic Cartoon Series by Tom Whalen. So they’re releasing “Two-Gun Mickey”, a 24”x36” screen print based on the 1934 Disney animated short of the same name. “Two-Gun Mickey” features Mickey Mouse and his archenemy, “Pegleg” Pete, getting set for an old fashion duel. I bet I know who wins this one!

“Two-Gun Mickey” by Tom Whalen is a hand numbered screen print, and has a limited edition run size of 370 pieces. The print will retail for $45 and go on sale at a random time on today, Friday, December 30th, at the Mondo online store.

“The Mad Doctor” Disney Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Today will mark the release of two new prints from Mondo and Sideshow Collectibles in their Disney Classic Cartoon Series by Tom Whalen. The second print is "The Mad Doctor," a 1933 animated short from the Disney vault. To be honest The Blot does not remember this cartoon at all but the print is pretty cool! I love what Whalen did with Pluto’s body and the way he composed the design to show the action was all taking place in Mickey’s dreams.

"The Mad Doctor" by Tom Whalen is a 18”x24” screen print, it has a limited edition run size of 370 pieces and will retail for $45. This classic Disney movie poster goes on sale at the Mondo online store today, Friday, November 4th, at a random time.

Pinocchio Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Today we get not one, but two new prints from Mondo and Sideshow Collectibles in their Disney Classic Cartoon Series by Tom Whalen. First up is Pinocchio, which also happens to be one of The Blot’s favorite Disney animated feature films. This 1940 cartoon is truly a timeless classic, and Whalen did an amazing job capturing Pinocchio’s youthful exuberance. I also love the composition of this print and subdued color scheme. This is definitely one print that could look awesome one anyone’s walls.

Pinocchio by Tom Whalen is a 24”x36” screen print, it has a limited edition run size of 400 pieces and will retail for $50. This classic Disney movie poster goes on sale at the Mondo online store today, Friday, November 4th, at a random time.

Dumbo Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Wow, another beautiful screen print in Mondo’s Disney Classic Cartoon Series by Tom Whalen is scheduled to drop later today and all I can think about is where does Tom find the time to create all these killer posters? In my honest opinion Dumbo is one of Disney’s woefully underrated classics. I used to love watching this film with my parents, but I think it’s time spent in the Disney vault (and its lack of a princess) has hurt its standing in the pantheon of Disney animated films. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. But man, does this print bring back the memories. And just think, when I first watched it as a kid it was already 40 years old!

Dumbo by Tom Whalen is a 6 color 24”x36” screen print, it has a limited edition run size of 395 pieces and will retail for $50. This classic Disney movie poster goes on sale at the Mondo online store today, Friday, September 9th, at a random time.

“Mickey's Service Station” Disney Screen Print by Tom Whalen

The fourth print in Mondo’s Disney Classic Cartoon Series will be released today, and it is entitled “Mickey’s Service Station.” Based on the 1935 cartoon of the same name, this screen print by Tom Whalen features classic versions of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy! Each new print in the series has included a new character, and this print is no different with its inclusion of Goofy. While not the focal point of “Mickey’s Service Station,” I really like Whalen’s take on Goofy with his really long and bending neck. Here’s hoping Whalen continues as the artist for these Disney Classic Cartoon prints, because I really like the continuity his unique style brings to the series.

“Mickey’s Service Station” by Tom Whalen is an 18"x24" hand numbered screen print with a limited edition run size of 370 pieces. The print will retail for $45 and go on sale at a random time on today, Friday, May 27th, at the Mondo online store.

“The Wise Little Hen” Disney Screen Print by Tom Whalen

The third Mondo x Sideshow Collectibles Disney screen print was announced yesterday and it’s “The Wise Little Hen” by Tom Whalen. Is it me or is every print Whalen produces even better than the last!?! This is also the perfect companion piece to Whalen’s previously released Steamboat Willie print. As you know, Steamboat Willie featured the first appearance of Mickey Mouse, but what you probably didn’t know is The Wise Little Hen cartoon is forever known as the first ever appearance of Donald Duck!

“The Wise Little Hen” by Tom Whalen is an 18"x24" hand numbered screen print with a limited edition run size of 325 pieces. The print will retail for $45 and go on sale at a random time on Thursday, May 5th, at the Mondo online store.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Screen Print by Tom Whalen

The second officially licensed Disney screen print from Mondo and Sideshow Collectibles goes on sale today and it’s “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” by Tom Whalen.  Whalen has now provided the artwork for the first two Mondo x Sideshow Collectibles Disney screen prints, so I have to ask...is he’s designing the entire series?  Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is one of The Blot’s favorite movies, but for some reason it’s become the forgotten Disney classic. I guess it’s because it’s not a fully animated film? There are so many great characters in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Disney really needs to do more with this movie.

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” by Tom Whalen is an 18"x24" hand numbered screen print. This print has a limited edition run size of 210 pieces and will retail for $40 each. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” goes on sale at a random time today, Friday, April 8th, at the Mondo online store. A variant of this print will be sold by Sideshow Collectibles at a later date.

Steamboat Willie Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Check out this awesome "Steamboat Willie" screen print by Tom Whalen and the fine folks at Mondo Tees. First Star Trek, then Star Wars and now…Disney! Is there anyone Mondo isn’t working with? Signing licensing deals with Lucas and Disney are really about as big as it gets, and I can’t wait to see what Mondo has in store for us next.

As you are probably already aware, Steamboat Willis is a historic cartoon because it features the first ever appearance of Mickey Mouse! The animated short first debuted on November 18, 1928 and also featured Peg-Leg Pete and Minnie Mouse, both of which are featured with Mickey in the poster seen above. The Blot’s been unable to find out if this print is being released in conjunction with a Steamboat Willie screening at the Alamo Drafthouse or if this is the 1st in a new series of Disney screen prints by Mondo. But I’ll be sure to post more info as soon as it becomes available.

“Steamboat Willie” by Tom Whalen is an 18"x24" four color screen print on light grey stock with metallic inks. This print has a limited edition run size of 200 pieces and will retail for $40 each. “Steamboat Willie” goes on sale at a random time today, Friday, February 25th, at the Mondo online store. A variant of this print will be sold by Sideshow Collectibles at a later date.
