Doctor Dolittle (1967) Original Storyboard & Early Title Art
Doctor Doolittle (1967) Original Storyboard Print This is a rare storyboard print created at the very beginning of the production, showing the cast on Doctor Doolittle's ship, "The Flounder" on its epic journey to find the Giant Pink Snail. The beautifully realized storyboard shows Doctor Doolittle (Rex Harrison), Emma (Samantha Eggar), Albert (Richard Attenborough), Tommy (William Dix), and the chimp Chee-Chee on the deck of the ship. It also shows the extremely controversial character of Bumpo, (from the original book), with a realization of Sidney Poitier, who was signed to play him. However after much soul-searching Poitier decided not to play the part, and it was finally scrapped from the production. Also, the character of Albert was written out of the last half of the film, so never made it onto the ship. This magnificent production illustration print is lovingly framed and mounted. Also included is a second illustration print of a very early and "raw" conceptual art rendering of the title logo with Doctor Doolittle riding a Giraffe with Polynesia the Parrot and Rufus the dog. The final title sequence actually did include special "children's book" style illustrations. Comes with a Letter of Provenience from the original owner. Storyboard print is 13"x6.5" and the custom frame is 20"x14". The title illustration print is 5"x8.5" and the custom frame is 12.5"x15.5").
