Auction History Result GOGGLE FISHING BEAR 1sheet  Appears in Cartoon Movie PostersBOOK SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the book we published as shown above. While we once owned this item, we did not auction it through eMoviePoster.com (which is why no price or date is listed) nor do we have it available for purchase. Goggle Fishing Bear, the 1947 Preston Blaire & Michael Lah Barney Bear animated animation cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby) featuring Barney Bear. Note that, for unknown reasons, the IMDb incorrectly lists this cartoon as being from 1949, but it is actually from 1947 (we suppose it is "bearly" possible it was produced in 1947 but not released for two years, but that seems highly unlikely). Note that Barney Bear was one of the most popular MGM cartoon characters of the 1940s. He first appeared in 1939 in "The Bear That Couldn't Sleep", and was created by director Rudolf Ising. In 1941, he was given his own series of cartoons. Barney Bear was a very large slow moving sleepy bear who usually was simply wanting to rest, and the other characters kept disturbing him. Some of the animators who worked on the Barney Bear cartoons also worked on Tex Avery cartoons, but Avery himself never worked on a Barney Bear cartoon. The last Barney Bear cartoon was made in 1954, although he was resurrected decades later. A curious footnote is that in a 1953 cartoon, Barney Bear is mentioned as living in Jellystone Park, which of course would later become the home of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
