I've slightly updated my Paramount Original Title page - just a few new additions, not worth me announcing it on my front page, but worth bringing to the attention to you like-minded folks who seem to care.

I've improved some images - and added a rare original 1930s Screen Song end title. But most interesting is the Paramount Noveltoon theatrical re-release opening title. Like most of the studios, when Paramount reissued their cartoons, like Warner's "Blue Ribbons", Paramount called them "Champions" - Here is what a "Champion" reissue looked like.

Sometimes I think I'm the only person obsessed with tracking down original titles - your appreciation of my efforts makes it all worth it. Thanks!

Hmm, I never knew that Paramount had that new title card. That circle seems to be a little too small to fit "A Paramount Champion Brought Back By Popular Demand"...:p Which cartoon was that off of, Jerry?

Also, I noticed you updated the one Herman & Henry "Featuring..." card too.

The copyright byline, although not legitable, appears as though it is a U.M.&M. byline. Of course, I may be wrong, and it may be a Paramount byline.

For the B&W cartoons and shorts, U.M.&M. was able to superimpose their copyright byline on the original title cards. They did an amazing job of doing it too.

Where are those "Champions" reissue titles? It's probably just me, but I can't find them.

The reissue title is at the beginning of the "Fleischer Becomes Famous" article.

If I knew how, I'd be doing it too!
