for Scrappy and Scrappyland: "America's favorite forgotten cartoon star...[a] spectacular homage site." "Totally fantastic. Cool, cool, cool." "Jeepers...the ungodly love-child of Mickey Mouse and Astroboy." "...This is a part of your knowledge bank that needs to be filled."

Columbia had a poster for movie houses, too--this glorious one-sheet (image courtesy of Keith Spurgeon). Apparently if you didn't like Farina, you still had a shot at winning a puppet theatre:
The studio even released a short animation/live-action film, starring Scrappy and Columbia child star Edith Fellows, to fully explain the magnitude of its offer. (This movie has been preserved for future generations thanks to ASIFA-Hollywood's Animation Preservation Project and a gift from Jerry Beck.)
One kids--and, presumably, their parents--rushed over to the breakfast-cereal section of their local grocer, they found the Scrappy Puppet Theatres stored inside a fancy display box, both sides of which featured snazzy Scrappy graphics and additional details on the premium and the wonders therein.
