An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Rookie Bear, the 1941 Rudolf Ising animated animation cartoon Army draft comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; in this entry, Barney is drafted into the Army, and a magazine follows his going through basic training, often with humorous results) 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. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a triangular area of paper loss at the top crossfold that affected the top of the "R" of "ROOKIE". It had separation and paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold, and there was once tape on the back of it. There were some tiny bits of paper loss on the top horizontal fold, with a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. There were a few pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
