  • September 1:
    • Jack King's Donald Duck cartoon The Autograph Hound premiers.[15]
    • BBC One broadcasts the Mickey Mouse cartoon Mickey's Gala Premier on television. Afterwards it ceases all broadcasting because of the outbreak of World War II.[16] An urban legend about this final broadcast claims that due to the sudden outbreak of the war the BBC cut the cartoon short, and when BBC-TV resumed after the conflict, it was picked up at the very point it had been interrupted. Despite this widespread belief, the cartoon was shown in its entirety and then followed by tuning signals. On 7 June 1946, the day BBC television broadcasts resumed after the war, Mickey’s Gala Premier was shown again.[17]
