An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Madcap Models (part of the series of George Pal cartoons called "Puppetoons") was a series of animated stop-motion puppet shorts ("in Technicolor") created by George Pal in England the 1930s and brought to the U.S. in the 1940s. They are memorable for using a series of different hand-carved wooden puppets or puppet parts for each frame in which the puppet moves or changes expression, rather than moving a single puppet. A typical Puppetoon required 9,000 individually carved and machined wooden figures or parts. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Paramount for use for all entries of their "Madcap Models" series. This particular stock poster was printed in 1941 (which is printed in the bottom right corner). Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the top center. They 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 are found with blank snipe areas. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good.
