Snow White UK Press Kit (50th Anniversary - 1987)

This press kit was sent out to media outlets in the United Kingdom for the 1987 theatrical return of Snow White. The film was released through U.K. Distributors Ltd., and the enclosed promotional materials included a fold-open synopsis card with movie credits on the back, five B+W 8x10 photos, and eleven pages of production information,.

The folder featured a nice "show-your-hands" graphic of Snow and the boys on the front cover along with the 50th Anniversary logo. The promotional materials were tucked under the inside flap where the contact info for U.K. Distributors was printed.
