Classic Media owns the UPA TV
programs that began in the late
1950s with the “Gerald McBoing
Boing Show” on CBS, and then
continuing on into the 1960s, with
the latest being a show of the same
name for Cartoon Network in the
early 2000s.

Classic Media also owns the rights
to all the UPA characters.

(if you want UPA television shows
or want to use one of the UPA
characters, click this panel for
the Classic Media site)

Sony Pictures
owns the UPA
theatricals that
Columbia had
from 1948 thru
1959, which
includes roughly one hundred
shorts, plus the “1001 Arabian
Nights” feature, with Mr. Magoo.
There has been talk about the
possibility of releasing a UPA
box set of DVDs, with all the
theatricals, about half of which
are Mr. Magoo cartoons, but
as of this writing, we’ve heard
nothing actually happening.

6,626 visitors came here in approximately one year between

9 Mar. 2010 and 26 Feb. 2011.

Original site went up on

18 February 2005, but we had no counter up in those days.

The two most frequently asked questions for us are ...

1. Where can I get copies of the UPA Theatricals?

Answer: Sony Pictures

and

2. Where can I get copies of the UPA TV shows and/or How can I get the rights to UPA characters?

Answer: Classic Media

But, if you want to find out more about lost UPA films,

rare archives, and the progress of the feature documentary, you in the right place. Have fun navigating around our pages. We plan to be conducting more interviews, raising funds to license film clips, and promoting UPAs legacy whenever and wherever possible.

Our apologies to David Dubrino, the designer of the original upapix site. However, we do hope to return to a closer version of David’s original creation after the UPA Tribute, and Ragtime Bear cel auction, and we get all

the information returned, and the new information updated.
