Description
"Zimbo, Zimba and Bomba nel Castello incantato" - Storyboard page by Gustavo Petronio
Clearly inspired by Walt Disney's "Mickey and Horace in the enchanted castle" from the same period, not entirely coincidental after Walt Disney's visit to Italy during his European promotional tour in 1935.
This page, featuring Zimbo's very first appearance, served to convince the director of 'Corriere dei Piccoli' to include this series in his children's weekly magazine.
Gustavo Petronio was active between WWI & WWII until the 1950s.
Already in the twenties he had his own studio and drew, among other things, the first Italian short animation film with sound. He eventually created different characters for the Corriere dei Piccoli.
Very nice drawings and I would like to know if the artist Ferdinand Ladislaus Barlog has seens these pictures, because they remind me of Barlogs "Die 5 Schreckensteiner" (1939).
