An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Bear and the Beavers, the 1942 Rudolf Ising animated animation cartoon comedy short (in this one, it is time for Barney to hibernate, but he is out of firewood to keep him warm during the long cold winter, and he tries to gather some, but has no luck, and he spies the beavers' huge supply, and helps himself to it, and when they discover that it is gone, they not only recover all of it, but they take Barney's cabin too, in revenge!) featuring Barney Bear. Note that Barney Bear was one of the most popular MGM cartoon characters of the 1940s. He first appeared in 1939 in "The Bear That Couldn't Sleep", and was created by director Rudolf Ising. In 1941, he was given his own series of cartoons. Barney Bear was a very large slow moving sleepy bear who usually was simply wanting to rest, and the other characters kept disturbing him. Some of the animators who worked on the Barney Bear cartoons also worked on Tex Avery cartoons, but Avery himself never worked on a Barney Bear cartoon. The last Barney Bear cartoon was made in 1954, although he was resurrected decades later. A curious footnote is that in a 1953 cartoon, Barney Bear is mentioned as living in Jellystone Park, which of course would later become the home of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is a cool added element to this poster. The angry beavers on the poster are carrying a flag that has a "axe and saw" emblem, obviously a parody of the Communist hammer and sickle (and the beavers have a definite "foreign" look to their faces)!
