Add article description

Kartunes is a series of 12 theatrical shorts subjects released from 1951 to 1953.[1] The series was produced by Famous Studios for Paramount Pictures. It succeeded the Screen Songs series because Paramount Pictures lost the rights to the series' name and the term "Bouncing Ball" couldn't be used any more. Even though the series ended in 1953, Famous produced Candy Cabaret and Hobo's Holiday, which are part of the Noveltoons series.

Title card of the series

The opening theme of each cartoon was "Sing a Song of Sixpence".
