Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Musical Jolly Chimp Toy

original movie prop

When Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) encounters a UFO, he's left with a sunburned face, a skeptical family and a shaken psyche. Soon, Roy begins seeking out others who've had similar "visions." Among those he finds are Jillian (Melinda Dillon), a woman who's lost her son to the aliens, and Claude (Francois Truffaut), a researcher preparing for Earth's first contact with extraterrestrials in this Oscar-winning classic from director Steven Spielberg. This is the screen used hero musical jolly chimp toy you see working by itself in Barry Guiler’s (Cary Guffey) bedroom when the aliens have arrived for the first time. As collectors of this film know, very few items used during filming have ever surfaced, making this a very rare opportunity to own a prop from this sci-fi classic.
