Auction History Result 8d0226 SENOR DROOPY 1sh 1949 Tex Avery, great cartoon art of toreador Droopy fighting bull, rare! Date Sold 4/4/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Senor Droopy, the 1949 Tex Avery animated matador toreador bullfighting action comedy cartoon short (produced by Fred Quimby; with Droopy and The Wolf having a matador competition, and the bull finds Droopy laughable) featuring the voices of Lina Romay (as herself), and Bill Thompson (in the title role as Droopy). 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.
