This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “The renewal number R681344 is clearly associated with 'Big top bunny'. The original date is 21Apr52, renewal date 27Dec77. The original number MP2226 is read from the line, and the renewal claimant is Warner Brothers, Inc. (PWH). The OCR chunk shows the record for R681344 immediately after R681343, with a clear separation.”
