The Columbia Crow's Nest - Titles and Themes

Opening Reissue Titles
As with Warner Bros. and MGM, Columbia too reissued a large portion of its color cartoon library beginning roughly when the studio closed in 1947. The first reissue title card used is the one displayed below on the left, featuring characters from a small handful of Screen Gems shorts including Li'l Abner's pig, Salami from "Porkuliar Piggy," the buffalo and indian from "Lo the Poor Buffal," the turkey and moose from "Topsy Turkey," and the dog and cat from "Flora," among others.
