Features (1948 thru 1962)
In all, UPA only produced two features, although many were discussed, including Hecht-Lancaster’s desire to turn James Thurber’s White Deer into a feature. However, UPA did create many memorable titles, credits and interstitials, including The Four Poster, which introduced the international animation community to UPA.
