The majority of animated Disney shorts originally released by Celebrity Pictures, Columbia, United Artists and RKO Radio Pictures in 1928-1956 had their opening and closing titles replaced when they were reissued theatrically and non-theatrically.
Well into the 1970s, it was common practice to simply cut the original titles from the original negatives and splice in the new ones. The cut-off titles were then discarded as they were not considered to be of any value. Today, many original versions exist only on old film prints - and the archives at the Walt Disney Company itself hold very few such prints.
This means it’s up to collectors and researchers to track them down and present them to the public. My channel is all about that. For the most part, it’s rare original and alternate titles scanned from 16mm and 8mm prints, occasionally interspersed with 35mm scans, and transfers from VHS and DVD. Hope you enjoy it! - Erik Palm

A Walt Disney Cartoon – Blame It on the Samba (1948) – 1955 RKO reissue titles
The 1955 RKO reissue titles to Blame It on the Samba (originally part of Melody Time) are already - in various forms - available on UA-cam, of course. This scan comes from a 16mm Fuji print dated 1977, and it’s likely not an official Disney release, as the splices you see near the end (when the Aracuan moves around the frame) are actually in the print, likely carried over from the 35mm source. Anyway, there are several interesting things to note about this version: It’s actually not labelled as a Donald Duck short like Lake Titicaca and Aquarela do Brasil, it has unique art on both the opening and the closing titles - and the end is different from Melody Time, where the Aracuan pops his head back out from the iris out.

Donald Duck - Donald’s Dilemma (1947) - original RKO Radio Pictures titles
Переглядів 3,5 тис.День тому
Donald’s Dilemma (1947) was the first short to feature Donald’s theme song, known simply as the “Donald Duck Song”. When I handed in this 16mm Technicolor blue-track print (made shortly after the short’s original theatrical release) for scanning, I was curious to know if the theme in this original version was different from the Buena Vista reissue. As it turned out, the reissue kept the origina...

These early 1950s non-theatrical titles - a design commonly referred to as “burlap” or “burlap note swirl” - to Mickey in Arabia (1932) interestingly keeps the MPPDA (here MPAA) logo from the original Columbia titles. This and Musical Farmer (1932) were likely the only Disney shorts distributed by Columbia to feature the MPPDA logo in their original titles. Scanned from a 16mm Kodak UK print da...

This is the original opening and closing titles to Mickey in Arabia (1932), the last Disney short to be distributed by Columbia. One interesting thing here is the presence of the MPPDA logo (below the sponge under the blackboard), even though it’s almost blurred-out in this (likely unofficial) 16mm Kodak UK print dated 1948. The soundtrack is borrowed from the Treasures dvd, as this print was s...

El Gaucho Goofy, originally part of Saludos Amigos (1942), was released as a stand-alone short in 1955 - one and a half year after the original RKO Goofy series had ended. I have previously shared the Buena Vista re-release titles (which keep the title card and closing titles seen here). The RKO logo at start was not included on this rather faded Kodak SP print dated 1976, but I have reinstated...

While the original RKO titles to Window Cleaners (1940) were seen on several vhs and laserdisc releases in the 1980s, this nice 16mm Technicolor print from the UK is certainly an improvement. This was the first Disney short to have the MPPDA certificate placed on the title card - a practice that lasted until early 1942.

I’ve uploaded the original title card to The Ugly Duckling (1939) before, as one of the stills included in the “Mickey Mouse Viewer” film strips. Here are finally the complete RKO opening and closing titles, scanned from a Technicolor 16mm print.

Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet from Make Mine Music (1946) was reissued by RKO as a stand-alone short in 1954. The RKO logo was omitted when this 16mm Eastman print was made in 1974, and today the colours have turned mostly purple - but it’s still nice that this version exists, I think.

The original opening titles to Pluto’s Housewarming (1947) have been known for a long time, of course. But this 16mm Technicolor blue-track print also includes the closing titles, which were replaced on all 1980s VHS copies I’ve seen. As far as I can tell, the original title card was refilmed without alterations for the Buena Vista reissue. This was the first regular Pluto short to feature the ...

Переглядів 5 тис.8 місяців тому
This French version of the 1931 Disney short The Busy Beavers is a little bit of a mystery to me. Tempête chez les castors (“Storm at the Beavers’ Home”) seems to have been the original French theatrical title, and it’s complete with soundtrack and all. But why, for instance, is there no mention of Walt Disney or even a copyright notice? I’ve tried researching the distributor Univers Ciné, but ...

As Mickey officially turns 95 in a couple of days, I thought it would be nice to share this interesting little thing. It appears that in 1953, five colour Mickey shorts (plus, strangely, Tiger Trouble) were re-released by RKO under the banner “Mickey Mouse Birthday Cartoons” - both individually and as a package (see www.intanibase.com/oldforum/index.php?topic=1776.0).

I’ve shared parts of the original RKO titles to All in a Nutshell (1949) before, but here they are in their entirity, scanned from a 16mm blue-track Technicolor print. As I noted in that previous upload, there are no real surprises here compared to the Buena Vista reissue - there’s the original headshot of course, and the credits have the typical 1947-49 layout.

I haven't seen Melody Time but have heard about all the shorts within. I really feel it was a misstep to put this segment in the movie. It should have been a short released by itself. It was planned for a sequel to Three Caballeros, but when it was canceled it was put in Melody Time. It just sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the others.
Amazing!
nice :D
Nice scan.

Hi, Erik Palm!
Thanks for sharing, Erik. I taped the reissue version onto VHS from an ITV (a UK TV channel) airing many years ago. That video is long lost so it's good to see these titles again and find the other copies on UA-cam.
I remember that Murphy Jaxson uploaded a print of this with the same titles as he recorded them on camera.

RKO Radio Pictures Inc. presents A Walt Disney Mickey Mouse "R'coon Dawg" Technicolor (1951)
0:14 Arabian music?
Yes .
@@vintagetvandexciting Well, at least Arabian-influenced, I guess. It’s one of those little embellishments they sometimes added to the Mickey theme in 1932 to set the mood before the action started (The Klondike Kid and Mickey’s Good Deed are other examples).
The reissue was initially distributed by RKO Radio Pictures in 1955, and didn't was until 1968 or 1971 that Buena Vista became the new's owner of the reissue print of this cartoon plastering the RKO logo with the BV, later renamed as a "Cartoon Special" reissue (lol, i said Reissue three times)
0:47 It's a big shame the unique ending music was cut here, fortunately, i made a recreation of what would be the reissue ending titles if were included on this print, using a portion of the audio scan from this upload (albeit with background noise removal) and using the Pluto closing music from ''Wet Paint'' and the reissue closing taken from the Burlap reissue of Don Donald Here's my recreation: ua-cam.com/video/8tHk5Mk13x4/v-deo.html I Know this isn't the lost unique ending music you trying to find, but at least isn't a Edward Plumb music ending, since the soundtrack for this short and Wet Paint were scored by Oliver Wallace, and fit well on my opinion
Everyone wanted Donald Duck's autograph. What is he actually famous for? In our world he is famous for being a cartoon character, but it is just in our world, not his.
In the late 1930s to the early 1940s, Donald, Mickey and Goofy (on screen as well as in newspaper comics) were sometimes, when it fit the story, depicted as actors at the Walt Disney Studio and living in Hollywood. This idea was later picked up again in the Disneyland TV series, were Walt often referred to them (especially Donald) as actors employed by him.
Love 16mm AGFA gevaert print
0:06 Hold on a sec! Why does it say 1953 in Roman numerals when this short was released in 1952?
Yes, that’s actually a rare error for Disney reissue titles.
0:37 Crash!
Hold on a sec! If this short was released in 1949, then why does it say 1948 in the opening credits?
It was produced in 1948 and released in 1949.
0:14 Arabic music?
Yeah in Mickey in Arabia they used Arabic Instruments
The correct titles are also both on the Masterpiece Edition and Un-anniversary Edition of Alice In Wonderland.
Happy centenary and 101st to the Disney Studios.
Final Goofy cartoon
Well, it’s the final RKO Goofy, but Aquamania (1961), Freewayphobia (1965), and Goofy’s Freeway Troubles (1965) were also theatrical releases.
The MPPDA logo here seems to be similar to the one from the 1932 silly symphonies titles
At 1:05, does this ending theme of Donald Duck use the same as Pluto's?
Yes.

Thanks for sharing this, Erik. When I first saw this cartoon as a kid I wasn't familiar with the word 'dilemma' and so I thought it was the name of the kind of flower from this cartoon. To this day, whenever I hear that someone has a dilemma, I always get the image of the yellow flower from this title card in my mind!
Thank you for your new videos, Erik. Always great to see you uploading again and a special treat to see the original titles for the very last Columbia Mickey. Quite a number of original 1932 Disney titles survive in some form, but I wouldn't have seen many of them if it wasn't for your efforts. Cheers!
Erik, I think The Martin and the Coys Ending isnt finished. Will you make it with the ending?
I recreated the ending using an audio portion of the scan done by him (with background noise removed using Movavi), with the sad and melancholic variant of the pluto ending theme (taken from ''Wet Paint'' released in 1946) with the A Walt Disney Production taken from the burlap reissue print of ''Don Donald' from 1937 Here's my version of the original ending card for the 1954 reissue print of The Martin and The Cowboys: ua-cam.com/video/8tHk5Mk13x4/v-deo.html
@@chapolincrackThat’s cool
Scanned date (1948)
I always liked the Arabian twist on Minnie’s Yoo Hoo at 0:14!
I think Donald should know that the same ending music is also at the end of the cartoons Wet Paint and the 2 Pluto cartoons Canine Patrol and The Purlioned Pup.
I remembered watching this Donald Duck cartoon on the Disney DVD Music and it was the last cartoon. I love this cartoon because like the movie Pinocchio, it also has the academy award winning song When You Wish Upon a Star.
Welcome back Mr. Erik!
old school
Thanks for upload this, i was tired of watch that 80s unrestored version of the burlap reissue print, where they zoomed the reissue opening and ending cards for this cartoon
Weird that the ending theme for this Donald Duck short is the one normally used for the early-mid 40's Pluto cartoons
Not really, it happens once or twice. Same with Goofy s end theme on some non Goofy cartoons like "The Social Lion" (1954).
I remember on the Limited Gold Edition vhs of Donald, the original ending to Donald's Dilemma was for some reason spliced onto the end of Donald's Cousin Gus, you could even then still hear the kissing sound effect on the iris-out.
Well, the most probably is the fact that the Donald's Cousin Gus closing sequence was missing from that copy or the ending was left intact but since the footage of that ending was damaged, they put the original ending card of Donald's Dilemma instead
@@chapolincrack Yes, it happened to a lot of the shorts they transferred from 35mm (positive) prints in the 1980s, before they could make scans from the original negatives. Many closing titles were replaced on those old VHS releases.
Wow, that's a rare one! This may very well be the only Columbia-distributed Mickey short with the MPPDA logo on the opening, but I could be wrong!
There's another one: The Musical Farmer
Waitaminit! Columbia Pictures Distributed These Walt Disney Shorts?
Between 1930 and 1932, after that, Walt Disney make a deal with United Artists, until 1937 when the studio make a new deal with RKO Radio Pictures.
@@samuelcarrasquillo4590 Yes. The Silly Symphonies from The Skeleton Dance in 1929 to The Bird Store in early 1932, Mickey Mouse from Fiddling Around (1930) to, well, this one.
What year are the burlap reissue titles from?
This is just what we could call an educated guess, but I think all the burlap reissue titles for the black and white shorts, the Mickeys as well the Silly Symphonies, were made in 1952-53.
@@erik_palm It could be, but it could also be from the late 40s, but I heard it was from 1973, and what years are the color burlap reissue titles from? and why could it be from 1952-53?
@@DanielCraft195 1973 is certainly not correct. The first colour shorts to have their original titles replaced with the burlap note swirl titles were Clock Cleaners, Bone Trouble, and Donald and Pluto. This happened sometime in 1952, when these three shorts were picked out for non-theatrical distribution through Disney’s newly-started 16mm department. The shorts were officially available for rental starting January 1953 - all three together as Cartoon Parade #1, and as separate films.
@@erik_palm Thanks for the info and do you think there will be more black and white and color shorts with burlap reissue titles? and is that information true or just a theory? Where did people buy shorts in the 50s?
@@DanielCraft195 Yes, Erik's information is true and well researched; it's not just a theory. There are lots of documents (adverts and catalogues) from the 1950s which announce and list those colour cartoons, now commonly seen with their 'burlap note swirl' titles, for home rental. I can think of 11 colour cartoons which ended up with the burlap note swirl titles. As for the black and white shorts, loads of them ended up with these titles (perhaps all of the Columbia and UA B&Ws and a chunk of the earlier sound shorts too?). Some of them aired with these titles on 1950s episodes of the Mickey Mouse Club. I've also seen a few cels with the block lettering titles (that would have been photographed over the burlap note swirl background) appear in an online auction too (the auction house listed them as being from circa 1950s so it seems they didn't have info on the exact year).
thanks for posting this, this is very weird
