    | About This Company |  |  |  |  |  Official Films was a home movie 
    distributor founded by Leslie Winik in 1939 to produce educational shorts. 
    Soon, after buying the Keystone Chaplin library, they found themselves in 
    the home movie business. They obtained several Van Beuren cartoons, mostly 
    black and white cartoons. Official retitled the Van Beuren 
    cartoons and changed the name of Cubby Bear 
    to Brownie Bear. The human Tom and Jerry characters were renamed Dick and 
    Larry to avoid confusion with the cat and mouse Tom and Jerry from MGM. Official became the first syndicator 
    of theatrical cartoons for television, in 1950. They also syndicated live 
    action television series such as Peter Gunn and The Adventures of Robin 
    Hood. In 1969, Official changed their name 
    to Official Industries. Today, their library is controlled by
    International Creative Exchange. |
