Paramount Television Animation

Paramount Television Animation is the television animation production arm of Paramount Pictures. It serves as the revival/reboot of Paramount Cartoon Studios. It was founded on January 7, 1981.

Background
In late 1979, Paramount Pictures decided to revive its animation studio for television. Paramount Cartoon Studios first started off as Fleischer Studios, working on Betty Boop, Popeye and Superman. After Fleischer Studios dissolved into Famous Studios, the Popeye and Superman series continued on with another series like Noveltoons, Little Lulu, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Baby Huey, Herman and Katnip, Buzzy the Crow, Little Audrey, Beetle Bailey, Snuffy Smith, Krazy Kat and Screen Songs. By 1967, the Paramount animation studio was closed down after the Fractured Fable, Mouse Trek was completed for a release on December.

Beginnings: 1979-81

Producing new animated TV shows: 1981-83
Paramount Television Animation was officially founded on January 7, 1981, succeeding Paramount Cartoon Studios. It was that time where Paramount decided to revive its franchise with the start of using their earlier series, Noveltoons.

Collaborating with other studios: 1983-97
TBA

Reviving the Terrytoons franchise: 1997-2002
The Terrytoons Show was the answer to reviving the Terrytoons franchise. The show made its debut on both Nickelodeon and CBS on September 1997, despite the fact that the show wasn't intended to be an original Nicktoon like all the others which included: Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats, Doug, AAAAH, Real Monsters!, CatDog and The Angry Beavers.

Paramount Television Animation today: 2002-present
After The Terrytoons Show ran its course, Paramount Television Animation started producing more original shows independently without any collaboration.

A Betty Boop-related show entitled, Max Fleischer's Betty Boop, came out around June 28, 2013 on Fox. It was aimed for a PG-13 Rated audience, as it returns the original settings and surrealism of the early Fleischer cartoons. The show was a hit since its earlier show with Ruby-Spears, Betty Boop and Friends.
