Studio (distributed by

Scrappy often found himself involved in off-beat neighborhood adventures.

In later shorts the annoying little girl Brat and pesky pet Petey Parrot also appeared.

Art Davis assumed control of the series. The final regular entry in the series, ''Scrappy's Rodeo'' was released in 1939. Scrappy would continue to appear in the ''
Phantasies'' and ''Fables'' series. The final cartoon featuring Scrappy, ''The Little Theatre'', was released on February 7, 1941.

Note: "Holiday Land", "Doctor Bluebird", "In My Gondola", and "The Merry Mutineers" are all a part of the
Color Rhapsody series, and all shorts starting with "The Charm Bracelet" are either a part of the
