Auction History Result 4y0174 HOUSE OF TOMORROW 1sh 1949 Tex Avery cartoon, art of family w/three televisions, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/29/2023 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) The House of Tomorrow, the 1949 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; about the innovations in home appliances and other devices that would be in homes in decades to come; surprisingly, for such a great animator, Avery was not the greatest predictor, because few of his devices ever came to be in the form he envisioned, and he apparently could not conceive of future families where the wife would not stay home and spend all her time being a homemaker!) featuring the voices of Tex Avery, Frank Graham, Joi Lansing, and Don Messick. 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 ANY movie paper from this Tex Avery cartoon short is incredibly rare.
