=== Aftermath ===
Following the studio's closure, most of the remaining animators moved to other studios; Grant Simmons would become an animator for [[Tex Avery]] at [[MGM Cartoons]] alongside  ex-Columbia animators Louie Schmitt and William Shull, Paul Sommer would move to the East Cost as an animator for [[Terrytoons]], and Sid Marcus would move to [[Warner Bros. Cartoons]] as a writer for fellow alumnus [[Arthur Davis (animator)|Arthur Davis]] and later [[Robert McKimson]].

In 1948, Columbia agreed to distribute new cartoons from [[United Productions of America]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Finding lost films and materials and producing a documentary feature on UPA |url=http://www.upapix.com/pages/history2.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110608225452/http://www.upapix.com/pages/history2.htm |archive-date=2011-06-08 |access-date=2011-03-27 |publisher=Upapix.com}}</ref> Founded in 1941 during the wake of the [[Disney animators' strike]], UPA deviated from the typical realistic animation seen from other studios. It presented a newer, [[limited animation|limitedly animated]] art style while also relying on uniquely told stories over slapstick and gags. Hubley and Schwartz had previously experimented with this style in their Screen Gems cartoons and were involved with the studio's early development. UPA's shorts, which included ''[[Gerald McBoing-Boing]]'' and the ''[[Mr. Magoo]]'' series, were major critical and commercial successes, leaving a profound influence on the animation industry by the 1950s. Following UPA, a deal with [[Hanna-Barbera]] was made in 1957, which lasted until 1967.
