Another script: The Fire Fighters
Burt Gillett directed The Fire Fighters, the 1930 Mickey Mouse short. His script for this film was written and drawn on five sides of three sheets of paper. Note for instance that he had already in this stage worked out how the ladder would climb down itself!
It was included in a stack of amazing material that Gillett gave to a young girl in 1934 when he and his wife moved back east to work for Van Beuren. Her heirs auctioned it at Christie's East in 1994 for many thousands of dollars. The images here presented are from the auction catalog...

An eBay seller has begun auctioning off the remnants of the collection.
Word is that advanced vintage Disney collector Mel Birnkrantz scooped a lot of the material several years ago when the material first surfaced and then re-sold some of it through auction.
The last group of material to sell on eBay was related to Cannibal Capers.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for noticing!
