History[]

  • David H. DePatie starts his long-time executive producer career this year.
  • Starting from this year and onwards all the way to 1969, the ending titles would have A VITAPHONE RELEASE or A VITAGRAPH RELEASE at the end on the bottom with A WARNER BROS. CARTOON, as first shown in "From Hare to Heir" and "Hopalong Casualty". However, some 1960-1961 BR reissues, along with some shorts such as "Pests for Guests", "Yankee Dood It", "Tweet Zoo", and some other shorts released with orange rings, were exceptions.
