An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Tangled Television, the 1940 Sid Marcus Columbia Color Rhapsody animated animation cartoon comedy short ("A color Rhapsody Technicolor cartoon"; about three inventors showing how television works, and using cartoon characters to go to exotic locations) featuring the voices of Mel Blanc and Danny Webb. Note that many people nowadays think of television as something that began at the start of the 1950s, but actually, it started in the mid 1930s, but it took 15 years to figure out how to broadcast it over long distances, so it did not have much success during those early years. But this cartoon shows that people were well aware of "television" by 1940! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this is a 1939 stock poster used by theaters that showed Columbia Color Rhapsody shorts. Columbia created a stock poster for this series in 1939, and there was a blank center area in each poster. After the posters were initially printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that series, and ALSO add a single-color image from that cartoon (unusual for stock cartoon posters), and then they would print another group of the posters with a different cartoon title and image, and so on. Condition: good to very good. The poster has pinholes around the edges with a few patches of rippling in some portions of the edges (see our image). There is a tear in the woman's red dress at right and that was backed with tape (as well as some separation in one horizontal fold edge). Learn More about condition grades
