Auction History Result 4w353 LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE linen 1sh '39 great cartoon art of Popeye chasing dogs with wienies! Date Sold 9/13/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Leave Well Enough Alone, the 1939 Dave Fleischer animated animation cartoon comedy short ("By arrangement with King Syndicate Features, Inc. and Segar", adapted from the classic newspaper cartoon strip) featuring the voices of Jack Mercer (as Popeye the Sailor) and Margie Hines (as Olive Oyl). Note that Dave Fleischer (along with his brother Max) were legends and pioneers in animated films. They made the very first sound cartoon in 1924, beating Walt Disney by several years. They had great success with their Out of the Inkwell cartoons, Popeye, Betty Boop, and much more, including the Superman cartoons, widely regarded as the finest cartoons ever made! But after Walt Disney made Snow White, the Fleischers made Gulliver's Travels, which did not do well at the box office, and their next major project, Mr. Bug Goes To Town, had the bad fortune to be released two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it also did poorly. At this same time, the Fleischer brothers had a major falling out, and in 1942, they split completely. After they made the last of their Superman cartoons in 1942, Paramount ceased control of their studio. Each of the brothers made a few more cartoons, but their careers were essentially over.

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and slight darkening and a few tiny tears on parts of some foldlines, with a few pinholes in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! At some time after the poster was backed, it was roughly handled, and there is a faint 6" horizontal crease in the top of the right border (both in the poster and the linen), but it is almost completely unnoticeable from the front of the poster.
