An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) King Size Canary, the 1947 Tex Avery animated cartoon family adventure comedy ("A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer CARTOON in Technicolor"; produced by Fred Quimby). 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. Condition: good. The poster was heavily water stained across the middle and also heavily water stained across the top and bottom 2". I don't know how much of that water staining could be removed through chemical means. It is a certainty however, that a talented restorer could surely either remove or lighten the stains, and then linenback the poster, and perform whatever paint restoration is necessary. After that process, the poster would look great, but it would likely have a fair amount of paint restoration (although if it were done by a top professional, it is likely that it would not be very noticeable at all).
