Filmography: Ferdinand the Bull (1938)

I am catching up on my scanning duties here at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive, and today we digitized this 1938 storybook based on the Oscar winning Disney short subject, Ferdinand the Bull. This oversized book is very close to the look of the actual cartoon, and I wonder if perhaps Claude Coates might have been the one who painted it.











Looks like some little fingers have gotten to that cover! Thanks to Archive Supporter, Jennifer Roth for sharing this with us.

Perhaps you should scan or at least have a copy of the original book by Munrow Leaf and Robert Lawson for comparison.
