Autographed Original Movie Teaser Poster: Hand-Signed & Inscribed by Irene Bedard (Pocahontas)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of Disney Renaissance animation history, cinema heritage, and voice-acting memorabilia: an original 1995 advance teaser movie poster for Walt Disney Pictures' Pocahontas, hand-signed and character-inscribed by actress Irene Bedard.
Released during the height of the Disney Renaissance in June 1995, Pocahontas marked a milestone as Walt Disney Feature Animation's 33rd animated classic. Celebrated for its stunning visual style, iconic Alan Menken musical score, and historic box-office success, the film earned two Academy Awards for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score and Best Original Song ("Colors of the Wind"). Native American actress Irene Bedard provided the speaking voice and physical performance model for the titular heroine, bringing depth, dignity, and strength to one of Disney's most enduring animated figures.
This original theatrical teaser print displays dramatic artwork depicting Pocahontas kneeling in a canoe alongside her animal companions Meeko the raccoon and Flit the hummingbird against a glowing sunset. Printed along the upper margin is the tagline "An American Legend Comes to Life", positioned above the film's title logo and production credits.
Positioned in silver paint pen across the dark lower artwork area, Irene Bedard has rendered a bold signature ("Irene Bedard") alongside her hand-written character inscription ("'Pocahontas'").
Offered unframed as originally issued, the poster features an official, serialized tamper-evident hologram sticker affixed to the lower right corner, matching its accompanying Schwartz Sports Certificate of Authenticity card. The piece also includes a Certificate of Authenticity from Premiere Collectibles.
Preserved in fine condition with vibrant color saturation, dark background contrast, and a bold, pristine signature, this signed original teaser poster serves as an essential centerpiece for Disney animation archivists, film memorabilia collectors, and voice-acting historians.
