Little Rural Riding Hood (MGM, 1949). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This classic 1949 animated short was directed by the legendary Tex Avery and is a remake of sorts of his previous cartoons, 1943's Red Hot Riding Hood and 1945's Swing Shift Cinderella. Avery, perhaps more than any other person in animation, perfected the art of the gag cartoon. This short revolves around one of Avery's greatest characters, the Wolf, and this one went to extremes to top its predecessors with explosive gag variations on the same theme. The Wolf is so aroused by the Girl's sexy performance in the nightclub scene that he distractedly eats his hands, pounds himself on the head with a sledgehammer, devours part of the table and on and on! Each step, Avery tops each gag with another. The Hollywood censors wouldn't allow Avery to use his original gag of the Wolf's reaction--springing into a stiffened-board pose in midair- as it was too phallic for their tastes. The Red Riding Hood cartoons were to become something of a sensation and MGM claimed that they were the most successful short subjects in the company's history. This cartoon was voted the 23rd greatest cartoon in a 1994 poll. This great looking and very rare one sheet is one of the most desirable of all animated cartoon posters. It had a tear that extended from the left border through the "C" in "Cartoon." There was another tear from the top border extending to a small chip out of the "A" in "Cartoon." Professional restoration has made this one sheet look like new as the poster has retained it's glorious colors. Fine+ on Linen.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions the Live Auctioneer bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject a Live Auctioneer Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the Live Auctioneers live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via Live Auctioneers, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since Live Auctioneer bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the Live Auctioneer bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie Live Auctioneer bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through Live Auctioneers carry a 19.50% Buyer's Premium with a $14 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
