The ComiColor cartoons were produced by Ub Iwerks Studio between 1933 and 1936 . A total of 25 cartoons were created . The first cartoons in the series were distributed by long-term partner Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer until 1934 , after which their partner separated from them and the cartoons were distributed through the in-house company Celebrity Pictures .

The cartoons were created exclusively in Cinecolor and mostly dealt with famous fairy tales such as B. the Bremen town musicians or the stories of mother goose .
