Auction History Result 5p0137 BEAR & THE HARE linen 1sh 1948 art of Barney Bear on skis reading hunting rabbit book, rare! Date Sold 9/1/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Bear and the Hare, the 1948 Preston Blair & Michael Lah animated animation comedy cartoon ("Produced by Fred Quimby"; in this entry, set in winter, Barney is hunting a "snowshoe" rabbit, but because he is pure white, he keeps disappearing against the snow; they end up having a snowball fight that turns into a tennis match) featuring Barney Bear. 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.
