Did the Van Beuren cartoon have original titles? If not, who was the distributor, if you saw it?

Just like the other Aesop's Fables that've turned up so far on
W-Five-Sets-of-Call-Letters,
the titles were indeed original. (In today's case, unfortunately, so was the print ... faded like everyone's best pair of jeans. But at least the Van Beuren shorts are alive at AIN.)

I'm thinking the only reason this was shown was to cut time off of the show, and to have another infomercial? :rolleyes:

I could have sworn hearing that cities other than NY and Washington were given back their news-chopper rights.
