    Description

    King-Size Canary (MGM, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41"). In a 1994 poll of animators, this Tex Avery cartoon was voted one of the top ten cartoons of all time. All the Avery trademark gags are here, coming at you so fast that you will probably miss a few because you are laughing so hard. The insane plot involves a starving cat who finds a tiny, sickly canary and a bottle of "Jumbo-Gro". He gives it to the canary and it grows giant-size and beats up on the cat. So the cat drinks some himself and grows bigger than the canary. And then a bulldog and a mouse get involved. The poster has a piece missing out of the right border. There are cross fold separations, pinholes in the corners and fold wear. This has been expertly restored, giving this piece a beautiful appearance. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

    Please see full-color, enlargeable images above for more details.
