Walt Disney signed menu from the Disney Restaurant. The entertainment mogul signs his distinctive ''Walt Disney'' in pencil, in very large script to the bottom edge of the menu's front cover. Disney purchased 51 acres in Burbank following the breakout success of his first animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, in 1937. These grounds were the site where Disney classics were animated, shot and edited, including Fantasia, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan; later Davy Crockett, Mary Poppins, Armageddon and Pirates of the Caribbean I, II & III. Cover features an illustration of Mickey in chef's garb ringing a dinner bell as Goofy comes running. Print reads: ''Walt Disney's / Studio Restaurant / Burbank, California''. Menu folds open to show the ''Snow White Special'' and ''Stromboli's Favorite Sandwich,'' with period pricing of 20 cents for a meal. Red printed illustrations of Disney characters decorate the interior. A U.S. stamp bearing Disney's image is affixed to the front cover. Menu measures 9.25'' x 12.5''. Toned horizontal crease across the top and evidence of prior mounting to verso, else near fine. With a COA from Disney expert Phil Sears.
