Animated people were first created in the mid-nineteenth century, after William George Horner invented a device called a zoetrope in 1834. The device was based around a drum and allowed for the changing of images. Emile Renaud inventing theatrical projection was based on this principle. He became the first entrepreneur of animation, painting on celluloid ribbons.
Sullivan-Bluth Studios
Although Sullivan-Bluth Studios are not as well-known and celebrated as Disney, they have made a significant contribution to the history animation. Don Bluth, who was a Disney animator, founded the company in 1978. He contributed to several classics. His human touch is what gave animation its unique character. Sullivan-Bluth Studios' animators are beloved in every home.
Sullivan-Bluth Entertainment began life as Don Bluth Studios. He founded the studio with the late Morris Sullivan, a mergers and acquisitions broker who was an avid enthusiast of traditional animation. Bluth's studio filed bankruptcy in 1985. Morris Sullivan (a financial consultant) stepped in to save the company. Bluth and Sullivan co-created a feature-length cartoon together and a Japanese attraction in the early 1990s.
Hanna-Barbera Productions
Hanna-Barbera along with its partners, Ruby-Spears (the GAB) and Ruby-Spears produced a series a children's cartoons during the 1960s. Hanna-Barbera was also the creator of many feature films. Despite Hanna-Barbera's difficulties, Hanna-Barbera produced a majority of the American television cartoons. Filmation and Hanna-Barbera were so rivals that Fred Silverman gave Hanna-Barbera the Saturday morning cartoon slot in the early 1970s. Hanna-Barbera began to produce all of its cartoons at-house in late 1970s/early 1980s.
Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. merged after the merger. Hanna-Barbera ceased to be a producer of animation specials and shows. Warner Bros. continue to produce some legacy properties from Hanna-Barbera such as Scooby-Doo & The Monster Machine. The Hanna-Barbera name still appears on select projects. Although Hanna-Barbera cartoons were stopped by the company, copyright holder for many of these programs is not.
Felix, Sullivan’s character
After a series, Sullivan's character Felix saw a resurgence in comic strips, a musical homage and in a newspaper strip. These animated cartoons were popular for decades and may have stayed popular if Sullivan had lived longer. Sullivan fell ill with alcoholism in 1931 and syphilis complications in 1931. Joe Oriolo revived the character and made it a TV series. Sullivan's estate has never been removed from the Felix cartoons to Messmer.
Messmer and Sullivan collaborated on the cartoons in some ways, but the Felix cartoon wouldn't have been as popular without Sullivan's marketing efforts. But Sullivan gave Felix the name Felix and his personality. Messmer's biographical sketch suggested that the cartoons may have been better if Sullivan had created them. Japan is where Felix is the most famous character, and they were very popular with cartoons.
Studio Sullivan
The fascinating story of Felix and his creation is told in Sullivan's studio. Most histories of animation tend to gloss over Sullivan's rogue past, but the truth is that he was a wildcat renegade who didn't care for the rules and protected his intellectual property. Sullivan was born in Paddington, Sydney in Australia. He immigrated to the United States in 1911.
In 1914, Sullivan moved to the United States and was hired by the McClure Syndicate to work as an assistant to William Marriner, the cartoonist and comic strip artist. He also adapted Marriner's comic strips for McClure and the New York Evening World, including Sambo and his Funny Noises. 1914 was the year that Sullivan joined Raoul Barre Animation Studio, where he worked with the film adaptation of Helen Bannerman’s children’s book series Sambo.
