    		"Avery first began his animation career at the Walter Lantz studio in the early 1930s, working on the majority of the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons from 1931-35. He is shown as 'animator' on the original title card credits on the Oswald cartoons. He later claimed to have directed two cartoons during this time." I haven't located a specific title, though.

    		According to another source, which overlooks the claim for a directing credit with Lantz's studio, "He applied at Leon Schlesinger's studio, where the Warner Bros. cartoons were made, and was hired as a director. His first cartoon was a Porky Pig opus titled 'Gold Diggers of '49', which was released January 6, 1936."
