Mister Magoo, a crotchety, nearsighted, lovable old coot, first appeared in the 1949 UPA short Ragtime Bear. Voiced by Jim Backus, Quincy Magoo was patterned after several real-life people. Backus called upon his observations of his father when doing the voice. Director John Hubley utilized his bullheaded uncle, Harry Woodruff, for his concept of Magoo. Another source of inspiration was the screen presence of comedian W. C. Fields. No one person can lay claim to the creation of Magoo, the character was the collaborative efforts of the UPA staff who worked on those first films. Mister Magoo was UPA's first popular success and went on to appear in numerous theatrical shorts, full-length movies, TV specials, TV commercials, and three TV series.

Several artists left Disney after the 1941 labor strike.  Some of the artists joined UPA Studios, including John Hubley, Jules Engle (founder of Cal Arts Experimental Animation program) and Bill Melendez (who went on to make the Charlie Brown Specials).  UPA studios created Gerald McBoing Boing and Mr. Magoo, among other programs which featured modern design and human characters rather than anthropomorphized animals.
