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.
