  • @ClassicTVMan81 Only a few cartoons have the 'original' openings retained, but altered in animation and color: 1936's "The Village Smithy" with the original closing graphics on red background, 1939's "Chicken Jitters", and 1942's "Daffy's Southern Exposure". In response to your second paragraph: The opening/closing graphics were from early 1957. I had the VHS copy from those directly from TV back in 1989, but replaced it with the 1990-1995 color versions.

  • Continued: When colorization of these shorts took place in 1967-1968, some of them oddly had the older 1950s Sunset/Guild titles (which were used as the source material in many cases) in color! Mostly it was the 1967-69 WB-Seven Arts logo with the Technicolor reference removed.

    By 1983, these shorts again got new opening and closing titles: they used the 1950s Looney Tunes rings, but with a 1967 copyright stamp replacing the original one.

  • Sunset Productions was acquired by Guild Films, along with Motion Pictures for Television, around 1952. Guild in turn was acquired by Seven Arts in 1960 (at that time, newer opening and closing titles were then made, replacing the original 1950s Sunset titles).

    Seven Arts merged with Warner Bros. in 1966, forming Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, Inc., which meant the Warners then regained their back catalog of these shorts.

  • This Is A TV Version.

  • Gotta love PD cartoon tapes! You have a Sunset opening, in B/W, the cartoon in redrawn color, then the closing is the Sunset close in B/W.
