Auction History Result 2j591 TOM & JERRY REYES DE LA RISA Argentinean '50s cool different violent cartoon artwork! Date Sold 10/16/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 29 1/4" x 42 1/4" [74 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Tom & Jerry Reyes De La Risa (literally translates to "Tom and Jerry: Kings of Laughter"), the 1950s Argentinean animated animation cartoon compilation. Note that this is a literal translation of the title, and that this may in fact be a repackaging or re-titling of one of the many other Tom & Jerry compilations from other countries. Note that the images on this poster are far more violent (and far more true to the spirit of the actual cartoons!) than the bland U.S. posters from the same time period! Note that Tom and Jerry is a classic series of cartoons created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The first one was created in 1940, and there as a total of 114 cartoons through 1957. Seven of these won Academy Awards for Best Cartoon, tying for most wins with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies. There were around 50 more cartoons created after the first run ended, through the early 2000s, and there were also TV shows based on these classic characters. Some people have criticized the cartoons for their "excessive violence", but actually no blood or gore was ever shown in any of them, and this type of violence is commonly referred to as "cartoon violence". Many of the Tom and Jerry cartoons are extremely clever and make wonderful use of music. They are not nearly as appreciated today as they should be, but in their day, they were among the most popular cartoons of the 1940s! Finally, note that there is 1960s & 1970s Argentinean posters that have this exact same name on it they could be a re-release of this compilation, or it could be an entirely different compilation that they used the same name for.

Important Added Info: UPDATED 10/15/2014: Note that there was an error in the Auction Title which listed this as a 1974 poster when, as the description mentions, this is a 1950s poster. We have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: very good. There is an approximately 1" v-shaped tear left and right of the middle horizontal fold and there are a few smaller tears along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty remarkable condition! Learn More about condition grades
