Santa and the Three Bears, the 1970 Tony Benedict & Barry Mahon animated Christmas holiday cartoon family fantasy ("An enchanting tale of three hibernating bears and how they first discover the magic and wonder of Christmas"; "ALL NEW! Never before shown anywhere!"; "Matinees only! Saturday and Sunday!") featuring the voices of Hal Smith, Jean Vander Pyl (the voice of Wilma Flintstone), Annette Ferra, Bobby Riha, and Joyce Taylor. Note that co-director Barry Mahon had a fascinating life that could fill several movies! He was an American pilot for England in World War II and he was shot down and put in a POW camp, and he escaped and was the basis for the Steve McQueen character in the movie "The Great Escape" (Mahon also loved motorcycles). He became Errol Flynn's pilot and later Errol Flynn's manager. He then made many sexploitation "nudie cuties" movies in the 1950s and 1960s, but at the end of his career, he made a drastic shift, and made several children's movies (perhaps he found religion?). You can click on his name for a more complete version of this biography of his life.

Important Added Info:

Note that the poster in this auction is one of 81 one-sheets we are auctioning in separate auctions that have something unusual about them. It is that all of these one-sheets (which date from 1967 to 1973) were never folded, which is VERY UNUSUAL for pre-1980 posters. They were found together, and you likely could never find another example of these posters that were never folded. We are 100% certain they are authentic one-sheets that were printed between 1967 and 1973!
