An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Screwy Truant, the 1945 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; about a juvenile delinquent squirrel who is continuously pursued by a canine truant officer, who he continually outwits) featuring the voice of Wally Maher (as Screwy Squirrel). 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this Tex Avery cartoon is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this one-sheet! Condition: very good. The poster had separation at the top 1" of the vertical fold, in the bottom 3" of the vertical fold, and in the right 4" of the middle horizontal fold, and someone put paper tape on the back of those three areas. There is separation and tiny paper loss at the top crossfold and pinholes and smudges around the edges. After a pretty simple linenbacking, the poster will display really well and will require very little paint restoration. Learn More about condition grades
