Product Description: The Famous Studios Champion Collection comes on the heels of Cartoon Logic's successful inaugural release, Aesop's Fables - The 1920s, Volume 1, last November. Both releases are being distributed by ClassicFlix.
A unique label in today's home video landscape, Cartoon Logic's exclusive focus is on restoring classic animated shorts which have never been seen, or have only been available in muddy, hard-to-views prints. Several more releases are in the pipeline which will bring dozens of newly restored and long-neglected cartoons to animation fans the world over.
In cooperation with Paramount Pictures Archives, and newly restored from 4K scans of original studio materials, Cartoon Logic is proud to present the Famous Studios Champion Collection—a selection of the very best and most requested cartoons from the animation house's neglected creators.
When Paramount Pictures reorganized its animated shorts operation as Famous Studios, so began a search for a new identity. Throughout the 1940s, the Famous talent began experimenting with new series' and concepts aimed at varied audiences and created an array of beloved characters and hilarity still fondly remembered to this day.
Defined by funny animals waging war, fantasies coming to life, snappy music, and gorgeous candy-like Technicolor®, the Famous Studios Champion Collection features 18 cartoons in all including: comics' leading lady Little Lulu in two of her finest and funniest cartoons; the complete misadventures of 1940s screwball archetypes Blackie Sheep and Wolfie; and the earliest appearances of Famous superstars Little Audrey, Baby Huey, Herman the Mouse and Casper the Friendly Ghost.
