Vintage Villain Postcards

 

Watch Out Pinocchio! postcard

Disney Villains are very popular in the Parks these days, especially during the Halloween season.  But that was not the case in the '70s, the early days of Walt Disney World.  In going thru all of my memorabilia, these early postcards of Foulfellow (aka Honest John) & Gideon with Pinocchio, Brer Bear and Brer Fox and King Louie are the only depictions of villains that I could find in print.  You don't see any pictured in maps or print publications.

Watch Out Pinocchio!

The third and final character postcard in this early Walt Disney World series comes from Fantasyland and features Pinocchio and his "friends" Foulfellow (aka Honest John Fox) and Gideon.  I assume that the title of this postcard, "Watch Out Pinocchio!," comes from the evil intentions of the animals on his right and left.  But it could also refer to the brick wall that they are standing on in order to get this shot.
