An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Hick Chick, the 1946 Tex Avery animated cartoon chicken comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby) featuring the voices of Sara Berner, Daws Butler, Stan Freberg, and Paul Frees. 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The poster was heavily water stained across the top and bottom borders and across the center of the poster. There is also much separation on most foldlines. While this poster has significant problems due to the heavy water staining, it is also the type of poster the responds well to expert restoration. It is likely that much of the discoloration caused by the water staining can be removed through chemical means during the linenbacking process, and after restoration by a top professional, this great poster would look quite nice, and you probably would not realize what restoration had been done to the poster!
