== Later career and legacy == By 1951, Harman and Ising were back together and making industrial and commercial films such as the 1951 film "Good Wrinkles" made for the California [[prune]] industry. Harman also freelanced to write the 1954 [[Woody Woodpecker]] Cartune "[[Convict Concerto]]" for his former colleague Walter Lantz.<ref>[https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/harman-isings-good-wrinkles-1951/ Harman-Ising’s “Good Wrinkles” (1951)]</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title=The animated film encyclopedia : a complete guide to American shorts, features and sequences, 1900-1999 |last=Webb |first=Graham |publisher=[[McFarland & Company]] |year=2011 |edition=2nd |url=https://archive.org/details/animatedfilmency0000webb/|isbn=978-0-7864-4985-9|page=79}}</ref> In 1960, Harman-Ising produced a pilot episode for a made for TV cartoon series titled ''The Adventures of Sir Gee Whiz on the Other Side of the Moon''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129366/|title=The Adventures of Sir Gee Whiz on the Other Side of the Moon (1960)|publisher=IMDb.com|access-date=2015-05-30}}</ref> The unsold pilot for the never produced series was profiled on episode 6 of ''[[Cartoon Dump]].''

Although Harman and Ising contributed to much of what would later be known as the Disney style, they have been dismissed as mere copycats. In reality, Harman and Ising never attempted to imitate Disney; they were attempting to make refined polished cartoons whose quality would shine in comparison to the work of others.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Interviews/Harman/interview_hugh_harman.htm |title=Interviews: Hugh Harman |publisher=MichaelBarrier.com |access-date=2015-05-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160207134738/http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Interviews/Harman/interview_hugh_harman.htm|archive-date=February 7, 2016}}</ref> Their repeated attempts to make quality cartoons and their refusal to be bound by budgets led to numerous disputes with their producers. Because of this, they were unable to create any enduring characters. Instead, they created studios that would later produce such characters. Ising and Harman were portrayed in the feature film ''[[Walt Before Mickey]]'' by [[David Henrie]] and [[Hunter Gomez]].
