This is the original opening and closing titles to Mickey in Arabia (1932), the last Disney short to be distributed by Columbia. One interesting thing here is the presence of the MPPDA logo (below the sponge under the blackboard), even though it’s almost blurred-out in this (likely unofficial) 16mm Kodak UK print dated 1948. The soundtrack is borrowed from the Treasures dvd, as this print was silent.

![Mickey Mouse – Mickey’s Mechanical Man (1933) – original United Artists titles
The original United Artists opening and closing titles to the 1933 Disney cartoon Mickey’s Mechanical Man, scanned from a 16mm Kodak print dated 1944. This is the first cartoon that I know of to use the final version of the black and white Mickey headshot that would become standard right up to Mickey’s Kangaroo in 1935. It’s also the earliest Mickey I’ve seen to use a cross-dissolve to a large title card (instead of zooming in on the title [early 1933] or fading out the Mickey and Minnie card [1928–32]). However, this headshot and the cross-dissolve might also have been introduced in The Mail Pilot, which was released just before this. The soundtrack is the same as on the burlap reissue and the recreated version (which looks nothing like this) on Mickey Mouse in Black and White Vol. 2.
