Here are five classic Disney collectibles worth a ton of money.

1. ‘Fantasia’ Film Poster From 1940s

There are so many iconic images and scenes from the film “Fantasia” that it is hard to pick one that stands out above the others. However, the film’s posters from the original release are some of the most sought-after Disney memorabilia due to their rarity.

If you have been a Disney fan for the last four decades, chances are you have bought a VHS tape of your favorite film or TV show. Double check the label to see if it has a black diamond on the spine with the words “The Classics” in white letters.

Should that be the case, you might be able to sell it for thousands of dollars. In 2024, The Gamer reported one set of ten Black Diamond VHS Disney tapes sold for $41,000 on eBay.

3. Walt Disney’s WWI Sketchbook

It was sold for $75,000 at auction in 2020.

4. Trail of the Unicorn Limousine Sculpture

Originally sold by Disney in 1996, this figurine showcases Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck and their nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, riding in a stretch limo. It’s not a small collectible and can take up a good chunk of shelf space.

The Gamer reported finding a listing for $162,000.

5. Prop Dumbo From the Flying Elephant Ride

Anyone who loves not only Disney but Disney amusement parks may be interested in a prop Dumbo car from one of the rides. Just be ready to pay a significant amount of money for this collectible. One of these flying elephant props was auctioned off for $483,000 in 2018, per Reuters.
