Ripley's Believe It or Not! (Vitaphone shorts)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a series of black and white theatrical short sound films produced by Warner Bros. with Vitaphone from 1930 to 1932. Each short is hosted by Robert Ripley, creator and founder of the franchise of the same name. These shorts were usually shown in Ripley's Museums. The shorts were then sold to United Artists, who in turn sold to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, who in turn sold these shorts to Ted Turner under Turner Entertainment, and ran these shorts on Turner Classic Movies. In addition, the rights were given back to Warner Bros. in 1996 after their merger with Turner Entertainment.
