Thanks for the info. I just discovered that a Wizard of Oz cartoon was produced in three-strip Technicolor in 1933 (even though Disney’s exclusive contract with Technicolor was in effect at that time), but I don’t know if it was ever released. Unless more information about that can be found...

Actually, the two aforementioned live-action 3-strip technicolor shorts were only publicly released (but not until 1934!) after they were received favorably by audiences in New York and other large cities. The first live-action 3-strip technicolor short produced for public viewing was Mrs...

Sorry, but I have to make some corrections. None of those live-action shorts were in 3-strip technicolor except for Seeing is Believing and World’s Fair. Interestingly, these two live-action 3-strip shorts were not intended for public viewing.
