Cartoons did not have to obey the rules of the real world ( as the short films of Tex Avery and their cartoon physics proved ), and so UPA experimented with a non-realistic style that depicted caricatures rather than lifelike representations.

The strip was drawn in the " ultra-modern abstract style " popularized by UPA animations such as Mr. Magoo and the comedy arose from the contradiction between the drawings and their captions.

Nonetheless, UPA had a significant impact on animation style, content, and technique, and its innovations were recognized and adopted by the other major animation studios and independent filmmakers all over the world.

UPA pioneered the technique of limited animation, and though this style of animation came to be widely abused during the 1960s and 1970s as a cost-cutting measure, it was originally intended as a stylistic alternative to the growing trend ( particularly at Disney ) of recreating cinematic realism in animated films.

With a unique, sparse drawing style that contrasted greatly with other cartoons of the day, not to mention the novelty of a human character in a field crowded with talking mice, rabbits, and bears, the Mr. Magoo series won accolades for UPA.

The " UPA style " began to influence significant changes at the other major animation studios, including Warner Bros., MGM, and even Disney, ushering in a new era of experimentation in animation.

The UPA style of limited animation was adopted by other animation studios, and especially by TV cartoon studios such as Hanna-Barbera Productions.

The new Hanna-Barbera utilized the limited animation style that UPA had pioneered.

The feature was produced by UPA, and directed by his former Warner collaborator, Abe Levitow.

Jones moonlighted to work on the film, since he had an exclusive contract with Warner Bros. UPA completed the film and made it available for distribution in 1962 ; it was picked up by Warner Bros.

The new body decided to call itself Ulster Protestant Action ( UPA ), and the first year of its existence was taken up with the discussion of vigilante patrols, street barricades, and drawing up lists of IRA suspects in both Belfast and in rural areas.

United Productions of America, better known as UPA, was an American animation studio of the 1940s through present day, beginning with industrial films and World War II training films.

In the 1960s UPA produced several Mr. Magoo and Dick Tracy series and specials, the most popular of which was Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.

UPA was founded in the wake of the Disney animators ' strike of 1941, which resulted in the exodus of a number of long-time Walt Disney staff members.

UPA responded, not with another " funny animal ," but the star was a human character, a crotchety, nearsighted old man.

Columbia, fearful of the investigations, pressured UPA to dismiss anyone with even the slightest hint of communist association, including writers Phil Eastman and Bill Scott ( who was not himself under suspicion but tainted by association as Eastman's writing partner ).

But, as the major Hollywood studios began cutting back and shutting down their animation studios in the early 1960s, UPA was in financial straits, and Steve Bosustow sold the studio to a new producer, Henry G. Saperstein.

UPA was forced to churn out cartoons at a far greater quantity than the studio had done for theatrical releases or even the CBS television series ; quality, particularly of the Mr. Magoo series, sank to an embarrassing level.

In the early 2000's UPA was acquired by Classic Media.

Although DreamWorks now owns the ancillary rights to most of the UPA library, UPA itself continues to hold the licensing rights to Mr. Magoo, and Saperstein was executive producer to Disney's unsuccessful live-action feature Mr. Magoo in 1997 ( DreamWorks does own some rights, however ).

Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol was produced by Henry G. Saperstein and the UPA animation studio in its declining days.

By 1946, the studio was renamed as United Productions of America ( UPA ), and Hilberman and Schwartz had sold their shares of the studio stock to Bosustow.

This change could be attributed in part to the influence of the leadership of Roman Shukhevych, the new leader of UPA, who was more focused on military matters rather than on ideology and was more receptive to different ideological themes than were the fanatical OUN-B political leaders, and was interested in gaining and maintaining the support of deserters or others from Eastern Ukraine.

With the conditional support of the leftist parties from the outside, the UPA formed a government under Dr Manmohan Singh.

UPA also produced two features, 1001 Arabian Nights and Gay Purr-ee, and distributed Japanese films from Toho Studios in the 1970s and 1980s.

UPA produced Private Snafu short film ' A Few Quick Facts About Fear ' from 1945

However, UPA would suffer a major blow after John Hubley was fired from the studio during the McCarthy Era in 1952, due to suspicions of his having ties to Communism ; Steve Bosustow took over, but was not as successful as Hubley, and the studio was eventually sold to Henry Saperstein.

The Soviet-controlled Polish government not wishing to entertain the recreation of Belarusian and Ukrainian minorities within the postwar boundaries of Poland, withdrew the citizenship of those displaced persons ( DPs ) and political refugees who found themselves in western Europe, leaving them stateless, and collaborated actively in 1947 in the expulsion of remaining Belarusians and especially Ukrainians from the southwestern region of postwar Poland, expelling thousands of Ukrainians into Soviet Ukraine ( Operation Vistula ), thereby undercutting the ongoing Ukrainian nationalist resistance to Soviet rule ( Ukrainian Insurgent Army ( UPA )) and ensuring that postwar Poland would not have any significant minorities to contend with.

The actions of the UPA resulted in 40, 000-60, 000 Polish civilian casualties in Volhynia, and from 25, 000 to 30, 000-40, 000 in Eastern Galicia.

The killings were directly linked with the policies of the Bandera faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and its military arm-Ukrainian Insurgent Army ( UPA ), whose goal specified at the Second Conference of the OUN-B ( 17 – 23 February 1943 ), or at least in March 1943 was to purge all non-Ukrainians from the future Ukrainian state.

Maksym Skorupskyi, one of UPA commanders, wrote in his diary: Starting from our action on Kuty, day by day after sunset, the sky was batching in the glow of conflagration.

The following day, July 11, 1943, is regarded as the bloodiest day of the massacres, with many reports of UPA units marching from village to village, killing Polish civilians.

Roman Shukhevych, the UPA commander, stated in his order from 25 February 1944: " In view of the success of the Soviet forces it is necessary to speed up the liquidation of the Poles, they must be totally wiped out, their villages burned ... only the Polish population must be destroyed.

According to Kirichuk, the first attacks on the Poles took place there in August 1943 and they were probably the work of UPA units from Volhynia.

Special German units formed from collaborationist Ukrainian, and later Polish auxiliary police were deployed in pacification actions in Volhynia, and some of their crimes were attributed to either the Polish Home Army or the Ukrainian UPA.

There is a general consensus among Western and Polish historians that Polish civilian casualties from the UPA in Volhynia range from 35, 000 to 60, 000.
