Where did you find the information that MGM and Universal's logos might appear on certain international prints of Disney films from the late 60's to the early 70's? Camenati (talk) 05:41, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
First, IMDb lists MGM as a West German and Australian distributor for a number of Disney films from the 1960s and early 1970s. Examples: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053285/companycredits/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060420/companycredits/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055254/companycredits/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061749/companycredits/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055740/companycredits/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057473/companycredits/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055277/companycredits/
From 1959 to 1971, Disney movies played first-run at MGM's Australian movie theaters, which checks that company out as a distributor of Disney films in that country during that timeframe. https://fairfaxmedia.newspapers.com/article/the-age/134172178/ https://fairfaxmedia.newspapers.com/article/the-age/134172308/ https://fairfaxmedia.newspapers.com/article/the-age/134172375/ https://fairfaxmedia.newspapers.com/article/the-sydney-morning-herald/134172583/ https://fairfaxmedia.newspapers.com/article/the-sydney-morning-herald/91587260/
Universal is checked out as an Italian distributor of Disney films from 1969 to 1970, partly on the basis of the sighting of their logo on an ad for the Italian release of The Love Bug. https://ia801805.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?zip=/14/items/lastampa_1969-10-22/lastampa_1969-10-22_jp2.zip&file=lastampa_1969-10-22_jp2/lastampa_1969-10-22_0006.jp2&id=lastampa_1969-10-22&scale=1&rotate=0 Jesse Coffey (talk) 17:57, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
