* [[Limited Animation]]: Not just UPA, which was one of the [[Trope Maker|Trope Makers]], but some of the cartoons of the Tashlin regime experimented with stylized designs. Not surprising, since most of the Tashlin animators later went on to help found UPA.
* [[Minimalism]]: UPA championed a minimalist apporach to animation. Every element of production - design, color, setting, movement - was boiled down to the bare essentials.
* [[R EmakeRemake]]: [[Ub Iwerks]] did a semi-remake of his earlier Disney work "[[The Skeleton Dance]]", called "Skeleton Frolic", for Columbia's "Color Rhapsodies" series.
* [[Short Lived Big Impact]]: United Productions of America barely lasted more than a decade as a theatrical cartoon studio, during which time their stylized approach to the medium profoundly changed the way cartoons looked for the next few decades (for better or worse). Even today, their influence, direct or indirect, is felt in shows as diverse as Dexter'sLaboratory, [[The Powerpuff Girls]], [[Beavis and Butthead]], [[Samurai Jack]], [[Home Movies]], [[The Simpsons]] and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]].
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Even within UPA's remarkably diverse output, their adaptation of "[[The Tell Tale Heart]]" stands out.
