You Get What You Pay For:

I was looking for the spelling of a name of a UPA artist and I hit a search engine and ended up at Wikipedia where I found the most god awful list of half trues and misinformation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Productions_of_America

Hubley teamed with animators Zack Schwartz, Dave Hilberman and Stephen Bosustow to form a studio called first United Film Production and later Industrial Films and Poster Service, where they were free to apply their concepts. Finding work (and income) in the then-booming field of wartime work for the government, the small studio produced a cartoon sponsored by the United Auto Workers (UAW) in 1944. This cartoon was entitled Hell-Bent for Election (directed by Chuck Jones), a film produced for the re-election campaign of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The film was a theatrical success, leading to another notable effort, Brotherhood of Man (1946), also sponsored by the UAW. The film, directed by Bobe Cannon, advocated tolerance of all people regardless of ethnicity. The short was groundbreaking not only in its message but in its very flat, stylized design, in complete defiance of the Disney approach. With its new-found fame, the studio renamed itself United Productions of America (UPA).

The timeline is all wrong and flopped around. The reasons for name changes are not mentioned. It was only after Schwartz and Hilberman left to form Tempo that United Film Production changed the name to UPA under Bosustow and Hubley. Industrial Films and Poster Service was the name that Zack and Dave gave their studio when Stephen Bosustow brought them a spec Standard Oil filmstrip and some paying poster work. How can they get so much stuff wrong?
