Auction History Result 6p0177 DOG GONE MODERN 8x9 one-sheet snipe 1939 Chuck Jones cartoon w/robot & puppy, ultra rare! Date Sold 6/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage One-Sheet Snipe (measures 7 3/4" x 8 1/2" [20 x 22 cm]) (Learn More) Dog Gone Modern, the 1939 Chuck Jones animated animation cartoon dog canine future robot science fiction fantasy comedy short ("A Merrie Melodie cartoon in Technicolor") featuring the voices of Mel Blanc and the Sportsmen Quartet. Note that the World's Fairs of the 1930s almost always included a "home of the future" that showed how automation would revolutionize a typical American home (and many of those fantastic inventions did come to be in one shape or form). This cartoon showed the downside of such innovation, with two dogs getting into a futuristic home run by robots, and they get into all kinds of trouble! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this one-sheet snipe! Not only that, but we have never before auctioned ANYTHING from this cartoon! We are also currently auctioning a different one-sheet snipe (from the 1947 re-release of this cartoon) in a separate auction. Note that Warner Bros. in the 1930s and 1940s almost always made "stock" posters for their cartoons, choosing to save money by not making individual posters for each cartoon. Each stock poster had a blank area that measured roughly 8" x 9". The studio would print paper snipes that had information and an image about each specific cartoon, and those would be sent to theaters, who could paste it on their stock poster when they showed that specific cartoon. These paper snipes are incredibly rare. Sometimes they are found on the corresponding stock poster, and sometimes they are found loose (and of course, a collector that owns a loose snipe could acquire a stock one-sheet with a blank area and merge the two!). Also note that ANY movie paper from this cartoon short is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this snipe! Not only that, but we have only ever auctioned a total of six of these snipes from ANY Warner Bros. cartoons, and those mostly sold for $200 or more, and one sold for $370! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
