Auction History Result 5w0845 TOM & JERRY Italian 2p R1977 cat and mouse cartoon, more violent images than U.S. items! Date Sold 9/17/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Tom e Jerry Sul Sentiero Di Guerra (literally translates to "Tom and Jerry on the Warpath"), the 1961 Italian Tom & Jerry cat-and-mouse chase animated animation cartoon comedy short compilation. The shorts in this compilation included: Billy Boy, Tennis Chumps, Dog Trouble, Heavenly Puss, Nit Witty Kitty, One Cab's Family, The Midnight Snack, Mouse For Sale, Fine Feathered Friend, Cat and Mermouse, and Professor Tom. Note that this poster is far more violent (and far more true to the spirit of the actual cartoons!) than the bland U.S. posters from the same time period! Note that Tom and Jerry is a classic series of cartoons created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The first one was created in 1940, and there as a total of 114 cartoons through 1957. Seven of these won Academy Awards for Best Cartoon, tying for most wins with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies. There were around 50 more cartoons created after the first run ended, through the early 2000s, and there were also TV shows based on these classic characters. Some people have criticized the cartoons for their "excessive violence", but actually no blood or gore was ever shown in any of them, and this type of violence is commonly referred to as "cartoon violence". Many of the Tom and Jerry cartoons are extremely clever and make wonderful use of music. They are not nearly as appreciated today as they should be, but in their day, they were among the most popular cartoons of the 1940s! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Also note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Note that this Italian poster was NOT folded in half "an extra time", as some Italian posters are. This means it has fewer folds than those posters which are folded an extra time, but it also means that it must be sent in a larger flat package that measures approximately 15" x 23". We are also separately auctioning Italian posters that WERE folded an extra time, and which can be sent in a standard flat package. We list the two types separately by how they are folded, so that you can more easily know which kind of shipping each type requires. Condition: good to very good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Learn More about condition grades
