Editing Silly Symphony (section)

===United Artists===
In 1932, after falling out with Columbia Pictures, Disney began distributing his products through [[United Artists]]. <!--The original title cards on these shorts stated "Joseph M. Schenck Presents a Silly Symphony". When Disney began to distribute his cartoon with [[RKO Radio Pictures]] the title cards were all replaced with the words Mickey Mouse presents a ''Silly Symphony''--> UA refused to distribute the ''Silly Symphonies'' unless Disney associated Mickey Mouse with them somehow, resulting in the "Mickey Mouse presents a ''Silly Symphony''" title cards and posters that introduced and promoted the series during its five-year run for UA. United Artists also agreed to double the budget for each cartoon from $7,500 to $15,000.<ref name="Mosley">{{Cite book |last=Mosley |first=Leonard |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eaKoZtJqPc0C&q=fifteen+thousand+dollars&pg=PA135 |title=Disney's World |date=1990 |publisher=Scarborough House |isbn=9781589796560 |page=135 |access-date=9 December 2017}}</ref> The first short released by United Artists was ''[[The Bears and Bees]]''.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Merritt |first1=Russell |title=Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series |last2=Kaufman |first2=J.
