Auction History Result 5s0159 UNINVITED PEST 1sh R1949 cartoon art of Barney Bear stepping on squirrel's nutshells, rare! Date Sold 9/6/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1949 Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Uninvited Pest, the 1943 Rudolf Ising bear squirrel animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; about Barney hibernating for the winter, but being constantly awoken by a squirrel trying to steal nuts that Barney has in his cabin) starring Barney Bear. Note that Barney Bear was one of the most popular MGM cartoon characters of the 1940s. He first appeared in 1939 in "The Bear That Couldn't Sleep", and was created by director Rudolf Ising. In 1941, he was given his own series of cartoons. Barney Bear was a very large slow moving sleepy bear who usually was simply wanting to rest, and the other characters kept disturbing him. Some of the animators who worked on the Barney Bear cartoons also worked on Tex Avery cartoons, but Avery himself never worked on a Barney Bear cartoon. The last Barney Bear cartoon was made in 1954, although he was resurrected decades later. A curious footnote is that in a 1953 cartoon, Barney Bear is mentioned as living in Jellystone Park, which of course would later become the home of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1949 re-release one-sheet, which has a different image from that of the first release poster (and we have only twice before auctioned the first release one-sheet, and both of those sold for over $1,000!).
