An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Bats in the Belfry, the 1942 Rudolf Ising & Jerry Brewer animated animation cartoon comedy short ("An MGM cartoon in Technicolor"; with music by Scott Bradley; this was a "one-shot" MGM cartoon, concerning a trio of bats that lived in an attic and musically explained why they are associated with being crazy) featuring the voice of Pinto Colvig (in the title roles as Bats). Note that "Bats in the Belfry" was a common expression at the time this movie was made to indicate that a person was crazy. Also note that at this time, MGM made several "one-shot" cartoons, and if the characters proved very popular, they would bring them back in future cartoons, and sometimes give them their own series. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet, and that was 7 years ago, when it sold for $2,600. That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking?
