In 1958 United Artists bought almost all of Warner Brothers' pre-1950 library through AAP, this includes Pre-1948, Color, library of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, as well as the Harman Ising Merrie Melodies, and all Paramount Popeye cartoons. And several live action films Warner owned. United Artists also owned the library of DePatie-Freleng Enterprises including the Pink Panther, Inspector and the Ant and the Aardvark. with this collection of films, United Artists would release a catalog of these shorts for use in non-theatrical matinees, on 16mm and 35mm film. The following is a transcript of a catalog of short subjects to be purchased in a catalog from United Artists, including formating and any errors.
By Leonard Maltin
Years ago, every movie theater in America showed a cartoon with its feature-film. It was a standard part of the moviegoing experience, along with newsreels, travelogues, and other short subjects.
Today it's rare to see any kind of short in a theatrical setting. But when a theater--or film society--or college board--runs a Bugs Bunny cartoon before the evening's feature, the response is always the same: a spontaneous burst of applause and cheers.
People love cartoons. And young people, whose cartoon viewing has been limited to a television set, thrive on the experience of seeing old favorites like Bugs Bunny and Popeye on a giant screen, with an audience of like-minded people around them to share the fun.
It's not old-fogeyism to say "they don't make 'em like they used to" when the subject turns to animation. Almost everyone who has had the chance to compare today's Saturday morning TV tripe with the cartoons of Hollywood's "golden age" agrees. A vintage Popeye cartoon from the Max Fleischer studio packs more energy, comedy, imagination, and cartoon art into seven minutes than one could find in a whole season of Saturday-morning series.
The cartoons of the 1930's and 40's were made by young people of great enthusiasm. They were perfecting techniques, trying to outdo each other, and generally interested in having a good time. They knew that if they had fun creating a film. audiences would probably have fun watching it.
Which brings us back to the audience. Cartoons from the "golden age" were designed for audiences--and still work their magic on crowds of people nearly half a century later. Friz Freleng, one of the Warner Brothers cartoon wizards, once explained, "We'd take these pictures out, run them in a theater, and if people laughed where you planned the laugh, there was great satisfaction." If they didn't laugh, a lesson was learned. The audience was judge and jury--and the animators responded to their verdict.
It didn't take long for the cartoon crews to learn what people liked. The results are there for all to see: it's hard to find a bad Popeye short, or a dull Warner Brothers cartoon. Their batting average was phenomenal.
In recent years, a renaissance of interest in animation has brought forth some encouraging signs of life. Veterans like Freleng (who helped create the last great cartoon character, The Pink Panther) have returned to active production. And young people, like Disney-trained Don Bluth and his associates, have dedicated themselves to a goal of excellence with the same vigor and enthusiasm that characterized their predecessors in the bygone "golden era."
One thing remains constant through all this: what's good stays good. A Popeye classic from 1935 is as fresh today as the day it was made. The comedy of Daffy Duck gets the same laughs in the 1980s that it brought in the 1940s These are not museum specimens, or nostalgic trips to an earlier time; they're alive and exciting, a dose of great entertainment for today's audiences, a model of perfection for today's animators to emulate as they create their own animation for tomorrow.
Popeye recently passed his 50th birthday, but he's still in fine shape onscreen. This character has become a part of American folklore, along with his cohorts Olive Oyl, Bluto, Wimpy, Swee' Pea, Poopdeck Pappy, and Eugene the Jeep. Popeye was created by Elzie Segar for his "Thimble Theater" comic strip, but it was Max and Dave Fleischer who brought him to movie audiences in 1933. Their cartoons boosted Popeye's popularity around the world, and remain the finest examples of the Sailor Man's screen adventures. UA offers the Fleischer series, plus a selection of later Paramount studio releases and--best of all--the three classic color shorts of the 1930s that show Popeye at his prime.

These "selected short subjects" run the gamut from big-bad musicals to miniature mysteries... from slapstick comedies to action-packed westerns. They were a part of the Hollywood studio output, when shorts served as a training ground for young talent, a showcase for radio and stage personalities, and a vehicle for ingenious ideas that did not suit feature-length presentation. Most of all, these shorts are fun--a welcome addition to any movie program.
