An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Doggone Tired, the 1949 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; about a dog trying to get a good night's sleep the night before the rabbit hunt, and a wily rabbit does all he can to keep the dog awake all night so that he will be exhausted the next day!) featuring the voices of Bea Benaderet, and Daws Butler. 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.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned this poster once before (in 2015, when it auctioned for $1050), and that poster has been re-consigned to us, so it is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned!
