Disney cartoon Question?

[Leviathan]

For most of the time RKO distributed Disney's shorts, The RKO indent was stuck on the character series card, but sometime in the 50's RKO recieved its own title card for the disney shorts that preceded the opening Bullsye, and it had it's own (excellent) fanfare.. I'm assuming this changeover happened after Disney started self-distributing thorugh Buena Vista, but I've only seen the card on the stand-alone Donald Duck in Lake Titicaca (from Saludo Amigos), apparently reissued in 1955. Chips Ahoy (1956) has the RKO Fanfare, which plays over the Donald headshot, but not the actual card.

Is there a list of Disney cartoons that have this logo, or are supposed to?

I think all the Cinemascope Disney shorts of the mid-late 50's had them. (Humphrey Bear and Donald Duck)

THE FLYING SQUIRREL had an RKO head logo. Disney's association with RKO ceased in 1954.

I've wondered when the RKO logo started having it's own separate card, as opposed to being on the card announcing that this is a Walt Disney Production. For example, on the copy of the 1950 one-shot "The Brave Engineer" on the Disney Rareties DVD, there is no separate fanfare over the Buena Vista card, which then cuts to the original "Walt Disney presents..." card.

We might actually see the logo on The Chronological Donald vol.4.

If any of all this RKO logo worship means anything, all previous releases of FANTASIA still had the RKO lightnig bolt logo on the main title until the Video Release of 1992. Intereistingly, none of the theatrical releases had production credits. The video release finally showed them processed over a background showing the orchestra leaving the stage.
