Due to extreme interest by historians and serious cartoon buffs, CARTOON RESEARCH presents a gallery of lost theatrical opening title cards and studio logos which were originally part of our favorite Hollywood cartoons. Numerous changes made for theatrical reissue, and cuts by TV distributors and network censors have mutilated the original impact of these classic films. We believe that all “golden age” theatrical cartoons should be seen uncut, with original credits, main and end titles intact, as originally presented.
