Auction History Result 7x070 CAR OF TOMORROW linen 1sh '51 it can shave you, drive itself & much more, great cartoon art! Date Sold 6/7/2015 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) Car of Tomorrow, the classic 1951 Tex Avery animated cartoon short (produced by Fred Quimby; about the futuristic car of tomorrow that can shave you, drive for you, and do other neat things; however, it is interesting to note that few of these ideas have come to pass 64 years later, although there are lots of other innovations in modern cars that Tex Avery did not predict, and of course, we might still eventually get some of his ideas one day!) featuring the voice of June Foray. Note that Fred "Tex" Avery was one of the greatest legends of Hollywood animation. He started working for Walter Lantz on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in the early 1930s. He moved to Warner Bros. in 1935, where he became a legend, working on the Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes series, creating or developing the best remembered Warner Bros. cartoon characters, including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, and others. In 1941, after a disagreement, he briefly worked on a series called "Speaking of Animals", where real animals "talked" with animated lips, but he soon signed a contract with MGM, where he did even more wonderful work than before. He developed an entirely new type of cartoon (his MGMs are instantly recognizable as being "Tex Averys"), and they include characters such as Droopy, The Wolf, Red Hot Riding Hood, and many others. He is one of the greatest animators ever, and posters from his cartoons are difficult to obtain, and are highly sought after by collectors! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
