Unfortunelty in two parts

Yeah, mainly because they were uploaded before YouTube put in the unlimited time length in 2011. I do have the full video of "Once Upon A Mouse" (1981) which I putted together from the 2 part videos I downloaded from YouTube a couple years ago. Unfortunately it's no longer on YouTube due to the user who uploaded the 2 part videos got terminated by copyrights.

That copy of "The Golden State" looks quite good actually.

Happy Holland with it's original titles! Sort of. At the beginning you can see a big splice, skipping the name of the cartoon but the credits are all there. I think this looks like a bootleg foreign home movie print because of the generic "FIN" ending title card and there's no sound.

Bump for a B&W print of Don Donald with it's original title card!!! Bonus is a sound home movie print of a Mickey cartoon. All in one video, courtesy of davespeanuts.


And a rare Aesops Fables from 1932..... Vamp Venice. I don't see this uploaded online anywhere else.
Link because PHPbb is crappy about YouTube Links with specific times. 

I guess "Donald and Pluto", "Don Donald" and "Modern Inventions" did open with Mickey titles.

They were I know for sure. And of course Donald's first cartoon in his own series was "Donald's Ostrich" from 1937.

Ooh! Tantalising glimpse at the Don Donald title card in terrible quality without the rest of the opening titles and no end title. Although is this definitely the original title card? I'd guess so, but it could possibly be something created for a home movie version.

LuckyToon, when you say you "know for sure" that those three cartoons originally opened with Mickey titles, have you actually seen original prints? In Merritt and Kaufman's Silly Symphony book it is mentioned that 'Don Donald' was classified as a Mickey Mouse cartoon for book keeping purposes, but on screen it was billed as Donald Duck cartoon – the first in the series.

I think the BFI may have a print of Don Donald with original titles, but I can't verify this. I don't know if Modern Inventions and and Donald and Pluto are known to exist anywhere with original titles.

Thanks for posting the video, kazblox.

Interview with Arthur Rankin Jr

When Humphrey Bear got his own short-lived series, each of his two shorts had a different opening theme. Note that the first theme was re-used years later as the opening theme music for the "Disney Cartoon Classics" video series.

The first theme was actually used as early as the one-shot cartoon "Morris, the Midget Moose" (1950).

(Gonna be hyperlinking since this page is taking a bit long to load)
A "Snipshot" by the Fleischers released on 9.5mm film. The description says this was originally one of the "Inklings" shorts! 
A retrospective on Rocky and Bullwinkle. Unfortunately, I haven't watched it all. Warning: this is at least 50 minutes long!

Another difference is that the titles from these videos are taken from the academy ratio releases (shown in old regular square screen theaters), and that the original Cinemascope versions (shown in widerscreen theaters) had totally different opening titles aside from the differences on the aspect ratio.

8mm Ken Films release of The Covered Pushcart. With original titles unlike the taped negative of the same cartoon on the YT Terrytoons channel, which is why I'm posting this.

In the original titles, as you can see here, Sourpuss gets a star billing, which is a rarity..

"The Hobo Hero", animated by Leslie Elton. Truly odd cartoon.
