Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) One Cab's Family, the 1951 Tex Avery family animated animation cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; about a pair of married taxi cabs and their young son who wants to be a hot rod; this was a common cartoon theme at that time and continues to this day, where children don't want to follow the path set out for them by their parents) featuring the voices of Daws Butler, and June Foray. 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.
