The first time I saw this 1945 Pinocchio re-release one-sheet many years ago I thought it quite odd for two reasons.
First, it was from just five years after the initial release, and yet the movie was re-titled to "Wonderful Adventures of Pinocchio", but what was much more odd was that the poster almost doesn't have Pinocchio on it (see the below image)!
I guessed at that time that maybe the movie wasn't so popular the first go-round, and so maybe they were trying to get it off of just being about the wooden puppet and onto the great secondary characters (which might also have explained the name change).
But then recently I auctioned the three-sheet from this 1954 re-release, which I had never had before, and it has the same re-titling, and yet it has a huge image of Pinocchio (see the below image) so that seems to shoot the above theory!
The R54 three-sheet sold for $443. The R45 one-sheet (closing tomorrow at
http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=3235865) is currently at $105.
There are also 998 other folded one-sheets closing Sunday at
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/4/15.html, and with less than a day to go, there are still over half the items at $5 or under.
