Barney Bear's Victory Garden, the 1942 Rudolf Ising World War II (WWII) animated animation cartoon family short. Note that a "victory garden" was what U.S. citizens were encouraged to start in their back yards, so that they could grow some of their own food, while so much of U.S. production was devoted to making supplies for World War II soldiers. 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 only once before auctioned this one-sheet, and that was 27 years ago!

Condition: good. The poster has a minor printing defect that resulted in some creases running across parts of the letters of the words "Victory Garden" (it occurred during the printing process). There was also a printing defect in the bottom left, where the blue coloring for four of the letters of the word "Technicolor" were printed off register, and that is very noticeable. The blues in the gopher image are also printed off register, and the blues in the title are also slightly off register. There is 1 1/2" of separation and tiny paper loss at the top crossfold, tiny separation and paper loss at the middle crossfold, and 5" of vertical separation at the bottom crossfold, with virtually no paper loss. There are some tiny tears scattered in the vertical fold between the middle and bottom crossfolds, and minor border wear. One could choose to leave the poster as it is, or one could choose to have it linenbacked and leave the printing defects as they are, or one could choose to have it linenbacked and have the restorer correct the mistakes caused by the printing defects. Please bear all of this in mind before bidding on this rare poster!
