This year marks 70 years since the founding of the legendary United Production of America, which was created towards the end of the Second World War by a group of disgruntled directors, artists, and animators from the Walt Disney Studios who refused to submit to the studio’s artistic templates and taboos. The conflict culminated in a strike and their subsequent departure. And so they established their own small studio, which promoted the concept of limited animation and the modern visual style of the 1950s. Their innovations were soon acknowledged and adopted by many other leading studios.
