An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) What Price Fleadom, the 1948 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby) featuring the voices of Tex Avery. Note that Fred "Tex" Avery was one of the greatest legends of Hollywood animation. He started working for Walter Lantz on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in the early 1930s. He moved to Warner Bros. in 1935, where he became a legend, working on the Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes series, creating or developing the best remembered Warner Bros. cartoon characters, including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, and others. In 1941, after a disagreement, he briefly worked on a series called "Speaking of Animals", where real animals "talked" with animated lips, but he soon signed a contract with MGM, where he did even more wonderful work than before. He developed an entirely new type of cartoon (his MGMs are instantly recognizable as being "Tex Averys"), and they include characters such as Droopy, The Wolf, Red Hot Riding Hood, and many others. He is one of the greatest animators ever, and posters from his cartoons are difficult to obtain, and are highly sought after by collectors! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned any movie paper for this cartoon short in all our years of auctioning! Condition: good. The poster has stains in the top left corner and the bottom right corner, with a few scattered down the right side of the poster. The top quarter of the vertical fold is completely separated, with some small tears in that part of the fold and small paper loss at the top crossfold. There are tears and tiny paper loss in the top blank border, with a 3" tear in the right of the top border that was repaired with paper tape from the back. There are pinholes in the corners. There is a tape repair on the back of the middle of the left border, where there was a tear. In spite of the above defects, the poster is an excellent candidate for restoration, because after linenbacking by a talented professional, it will display really well, and require relatively little paint restoration.
