An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Swingshift Cinderella, the 1945 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; this was a sequel to Avery's 1943 "Red Hot Riding Hood", and this brought back the classic characters of "The Wolf" and "Red", but adding in Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother; in this one, The Wolf gets tired of not getting Red Hot Riding Hood, and he shifts his attentions to Cinderella, but discovers that her Fairy Godmother wants him for herself instead!) featuring the voices of Sara Berner (as Red Hot Riding Hood, Cinderella, and the Fairy Godmother), and Frank Graham (as the Wolf). 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. Important Added Info: Note that this is certainly one of the two most desired Tex Avery cartoon posters (along with "Red Hot Riding Hood"). Both posters are incredibly rare and are almost never offered for sale or at auction! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the bottom crossfold, slightly extending into the Wolf's nose, his thumb, and his shoulder. It had similar paper loss at the top crossfold, affecting the "SH" of the title. It had tiny paper loss at the middle crossfold. It had some tiny areas of paper loss on small parts of the rest of the foldlines and some pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. A really wonderful restorer linenbacked the poster, and expertly replaced the areas described above (which were primarily in the two letters at top, in the background by them, and in the bottom center background, slightly affecting the art as described above). The poster displays wonderfully, and you can only see the restoration from extremely close up. Learn More about condition grades
