![]() For instance, Pixar has screened a short along each of its feature films during its initial theatrical run since 1995 (producing shorts permanently since 2001). By the 1960s, the market for animated shorts had largely shifted to television, and even the existing theatrical shorts were being secondarily syndicated to television stations.Ī few animated shorts continue within mainstream commercial distribution. The Pink Panther was the last regular theatrical cartoon short series, having begun in 1964 (and thus having spent its entire existence in the limited animation era) and ended in 1980. ![]() Woody Woodpecker was the last of the "golden era" cartoons to end, shutting down in 1972. Warner Bros., one of the most prolific of the golden era, shut down its studio permanently in 1969. Cartoon shorts had a longer life, due in part to the implementation of lower-cost limited animation techniques, but also declined in this period.
