An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Heir Bear, the 1953 Dick Lundy Barney Bear family animated animation cartoon comedy short ("Produced by Fred Quimby"; in this entry, Barney discovers a map to a treasure chest in his backyard, but a gopher is sleeping on it, and tries to stop him; he ends up disguising himself as a gopher and gets the chest, but after he opens it, a tax man from the government comes and takes all of it) featuring the voice of Paul Frees (as 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.

Important Added Info: Note that this item is in eMoviePoster.com's special "all animation" auction! The idea for this auction began when we were consigned a remarkable collection of original 1940s Walt Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees (and almost all of those are extremely rare ones that are hardly ever auctioned, and they almost all are in really nice condition). Once we knew we had those items, we contacted all our past consignors, and asked them to consign to this very special auction, and they REALLY came through, consigning a wonderful assortment of cartoon movie paper of all sorts. Buying from this special auction gives you an incredibly rare opportunity to obtain some of the finest cartoon animation movie paper we have ever seen, and all of them will have new owners when these auctions close, because all start at $1 with no reserve. Many of these items will likely not be auctioned again for many years to come! What IS linenbacking?
