Auction History Result 9j0433 RED HOT RANGERS 1sh 1947 Tex Avery's George & Junior are forest rangers chasing flame, rare! Date Sold 8/3/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Red Hot Rangers, the 1947 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; one of a series of cartoons with "George" and "Junior", two bears based on George and Lenny from John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men"; in this one, they are forest rangers chasing a surreal living "flame" who can't help but set everything he touches on fire) featuring the voices of Tex Avery (as Junior), and Dick Nelson (as George). 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.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this one-sheet, but we think those were the same poster, and if so, we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster! Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time, and it has some creases along the folds and diagonal creases to the left and right of the top and bottom of the extra fold. It has pinholes around the edges, with darkening, small tears, and small paper loss in the bottom blank border, with some small tape repairs on the back. There is tape on the back of the top and bottom crossfolds. After a relatively simple linenbacking, the poster will display really well! Learn More about condition grades
