An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Tom and Jerry, the 1952 and 1953 stock animation animated cartoon one-sheet ("Produced by Fred Quimby"), advertising Tom & Jerry MGM cartoons, with a great image of Tom and Jerry pretending to make peace and shake hands, but each is concealing a deadly weapon behind their backs. Note that this is a "stock" poster created by MGM for use for all entries of their "Tom & Jerry" series. Theaters would order these posters, which had an area at the bottom of the poster where the specific title to be shown could be added (sometimes these were overprinted with specific titles, and sometimes they were left blank, and theaters could hand write in titles or glue on printed snipes of specific titles). Note that this poster was first printed in 1952, and was reprinted several times that year, and each had a different 1952 NSS number. In 1953, it was reprinted yet again, this time with a 1953 NSS number. Note that Tom and Jerry is a classic series of cartoons created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The first one was created in 1940, and there as a total of 114 cartoons through 1957. Seven of these won Academy Awards for Best Cartoon, tying for most wins with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies. There were around 50 more cartoons created after the first run ended, through the early 2000s, and there were also TV shows based on these classic characters. Some people have criticized the cartoons for their "excessive violence", but actually no blood or gore was ever shown in any of them, and this type of violence is commonly referred to as "cartoon violence". Many of the Tom and Jerry cartoons are extremely clever and make wonderful use of music. They are not nearly as appreciated today as they should be, but in their day, they were among the most popular cartoons of the 1940s!

Important Added Info: Note that theaters that used this poster would either be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one, or sometimes the studios would overprint posters with specific titles before sending them. Sometimes stock posters like these are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached or with an overprinted title. This particular poster is overprinted with the title of the 1953 Tom and Jerry cartoon "Johann Mouse".
