Auction History Result 9m0489 COCK-A-DOODLE DOG linen 1sh 1951 Tex Avery cartoon, art of Spike swinging bat at rooster, rare! Date Sold 8/8/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Cock-a-Doodle Dog, the 1951 Tex Avery canine dog animated cartoon comedy ("Produced by Fred Quimby"; in this entry, Spike the dog wants to rest at night, but an incredibly annoying rooster insists on crowing all night long, and nothing Spike does stops him, and of course, this gives Tex Avery an opportunity to show his incredible imagination in the various ingenious methods Spike comes up with) featuring the voice of Bill Thompson (as Spike). 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.
