By this period, the Krazy Kat shorts started using sound. Ben Harrison and Manny Gould helmed the series together until they briefly split for the 1931-1932 season. After Columbia Pictures decided to decrease Gould’s and Harrison’s wages on account that their cartoons were unprofitable, they left the studio and their crew took over. All would return. Allen Rose would be given the series in 1936 as Harrison and Gould focused on the Color Rhapsodies. Due to waning popularity, the Krazy Kat series ended in 1939, but he would appear in two more shorts in the Fables and Phantasies series.
