An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Jerky Turkey, the 1945 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; one of Tex Avery's earlier MGM cartoons; in this one, it has a comic take on the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving; the Pilgrim is voiced by Bill Thompson, who later was the voice of Droopy, and he sounds the same, and the turkey is voiced by Daws Butler, who imitates Jimmy Durante; at the end of the cartoon, the Pilgrim and the turkey call a truce, and have a meal together at "Joe's Diner") featuring the voices of Daws Butler, and Bill Thompson. 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.
