There was this cartoon series back in the 1930s titled "Buster Bear" it revolved around.... ok, so the plot of the series is actually unknown, but it would be assumed it's about Buster Bear and his many adventures, or advertising the new at the time state-of-the-art Vitaphone technology Warner was using at the time, whom of which released this series, with it being animated by a crew at the "Scarfoot" McCrory Studios, which was run by John A. McCrory himself. The series hurt Warner Bros financially, as the Vitaphone actually flopped in sales, meaning Buster Bear was just like the other flopped movies releasing at the time. Warner cut ties with the studio also in 1930. They found out that McCrory would (VIOLENCE WARNING)
BEAT HIS STAFF if they didn't get their work turned in on time, Warner Bros was infuriated with him, and removed him from their history immediately. Seriously, you can't find this series in Warner Bros history books, it would be nowhere, not even mentioned in their history OR timeline. Like it vanished, and didnt exist. That's why I'm shining light on this never before heard lost media gold mine. Tried to make a page, it was my first page, so it got deleted in a few hours. Sorry mods. An episode was actually discovered in New York in 2017 and was privately screened, with some silent clips making their way on the internet. Along with 6 stills from the screening.
You should try to make a page for it again if you have enough to write and decent sources, and if you're sure that this isn't a hoax.
It is actually real, Cartoon Brew even has a few screenshots available.
While I have yet to confirm the story on McCrory beating his staff, I can confirm that Buster Bear had at least two shorts produced between 1928 and 1930. They were not part of the Looney Tunes set. They were released in late 1930 and early 1931 as Vitaphone shorts. Both had sound, though one has surfaced as a silent.
Supposedly there were four, but some have argued that the later two shorts were just the first two under different names. It is unclear if the shorts are in the public domain or not.
Warner Brothers/Discovery should still have copies as of 2022. The Library of Congress I know has one of the shorts with sound.
McCrory did have a few shorts released after the deal with Warner Brothers fell through. The folks over at Thunderbean know about him very well.
