A “special” usually meant a general-interest subject not counted as part of a regular series (e.g., MGM’s Roosevelt, the Man of the Hour in 1933, RKO’s A Day with the Dionne Quintuplets from 1935, etc.). The term “special” was also occasionally used to refer to bumper-length releases of existing series properties, although for purposes of this filmography I have chosen not to include these here. (So, for instance, Paramount’s two- or three-reel Popeye Christmas releases are not counted as “Specials” on this page but as entries in the Popeye animated series.)
