Documentary - The Magic of Filmation

Lou Scheimer, head of Filmation Associates, and voice of many characters from their cartoons, passed away a few days before this writing. To celebrate his life's work, and what a creative, caring, and giving person he was, I've decided to upload this documentary "The Magic of Filmation".

I just found out Lou died today. I must live in a cave. That man and the company he helped build was a huge part of my childhood. Thanks for uploading this.

[@kjemradio]

RIP Lou. And than you for making my childhood so special!

[@yellowcougar18]

It cannot be understated the importance of filmmation. IT allowed Bruce Timm to get into animation, giving him his first step in the door of film making-and legendary status. And one of the greatest alumnus of Filmmation-Glen Keane. The legendary Disney artist who has put his stamp on some AMAZING animated films, and shorts (DUET). Filmmation kicked butt people

[@thewipsportsfan]

And Paul Dini too

[@floydjohnson7888]

IIRC, Paul Dini wrote for the Filmation "Mighty Mouse" that aired around 1980

[@SuperCruiser72]

I'm so, so happy to have seen this video. Almost brought a tear to my eye. My only problem with it is that they never interviewed the voice actors. And what I find weird is that Lou died a day after my Mom died. R.I.P. Lou Scheimer

[@SunRabbit]

Great documentary, and He-Man was a great cartoon. So much positivity on many levels. A lot of it was inspired by psychology where Greyskull = the grey matter in the skull = the human brain. He-Man = the divine masculine. The Sorceress = the divine feminine. Skeletor = the shadow self. Orco = the ego. Man-at-Arms = the reactive mind. Tough to say whether the Sorceress was divine feminine or if that was She-Ra later on (Ra, the Egyptian Sun God) because she was mostly inside Greyskull in which case she'd symbolise the superpowers of the human biomind. Lots of moral lessons presented in allegorical form.

[@SilhSe]

Great! Did Filmation metioned these inspirations from psychology? Thanks

[@coolnegative]

thank you for this. i am one of the lucky ones who grew up in the 70s and 80s, the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons. It was one of the few things that made me childhood tolerable and one of the only pleasures afforded to me. Love almost all of the studios from this era! so many good memories of Saturday morning.

[@Kodachrome40]

Lou Scheimer never sent animation work out of the country unlike other animation studios. It was all done in the USA.

[@lamontcranston4203]

+Kodachrome40 and it was all elderly veterans of Disney and Fleisher, I've heard Bruce Timm and Paul Dini joke that everyone there was either 20 or 80

[@karlmark9029]

+Lamont Cranston Japanese art students would work four hours a day in small groups similar to "madhouse", and "monkey-boy post" to illustrate and paint cells for animations like "Akira", and "Perfect Blue". The methods and style of these were more advanced and costly than their common American counterparts with Hanna Barberra, in the 1960 era. Doug Wilding, a comic book artist, wanted to bring his "Terry and the pirates" style to television in 1964. Iwo Takemoto with HB wanted to revolutionize American cartoons with "Johnny Quest" in 1964. HB did not want to spend the dime necessary, and the series ended up with the same cartoony style of the previous efforts to go into a prime time slot, like The "Flintstones", and "Top Cat". - Nice Try, HB!

Except for Zorro.

Aye, "Zorro" was the odd one out, not only in the outsourcing matter, but also the "lesson of the day" segment. That one was about how Western Hemisphere Spanish influenced American English.

[@amrak63]

I was 10 years old when the animated Star Trek premiered in 1973. That Filmation product was my introduction to the wonderful world of Trek. ^_^

[@artytoons]

Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott and Hal Sutherland and their crew did well to present polished tv cartoons within budget and keeping the network executives happy with delivering their programs on time and within watchdog guidelines. They selected the best established ideas (Superman, Batman, Archie, Star Trek, Tarzan, Flash Gordon, He-Man) to put in animated form. While the repetitive animated movements, character poses, and scenes may bother some folks, that did well enough to keep their programs in one's memory since childhood and keeping the company in creating new series and episodes within budget for over 20 years. May The Wheel of Filmation (producers Scheimer and Prescott's names circling around) spin always in memory.

[@jeremym9011]

At least Scheimer and the people at FILMATION honored and welcomed newcomers. Nowadays, you actually have to severely work in order to work at a studio.

[@originaluddite]

They selected some great existing fictions to adapt, but some of my favourite Filmation stuff was their original story-telling, particularly in their live-action shows. Ethically, they played it safe, but in many other ways their stories were very creative and off-the-wall, and I appreciated that.

[@ericoxner8333]

O.K filmation may not be disney but they made cartoons for Saturday mornings.I have nothing but good time with filmation cartoons.They also did another hit with making cartoons for week days. Instead of just saturdays!!!

[@JLChavezRomero]

thanks to filmation for all those nice and wise cartoons we saw in our childhood.

[@ExcelsiorsDomain]

I'd forgotten JMS was involved here, great to see a younger him pop up! When were the interviews filmed? So much of this is represented in my childhood memories from the UK...

[@phillipwattsjr.4714]

I remember a blog from John K. about his time at Filmation and how their animation techniques made him 'physically ill'. Of course this is the same John K. who is pretty much a ONE-SHOW-WONDER who's only notable contribution to animation is Ren & Stimpy, and yet he acts like he's the arbiter of what REAL animation is. Long live Filmation!

[@thewipsportsfan]

I know, I didn't know Lou Scheimer passed only recently and Never knew who he really was but watching this doc and a couple other related tributes to him it boggles my mind of how great of a human being he was both in and out of the studio. as a artist a writer a producer a businessman a father and member of the human race he was a class act sure the product he, Norm and Hal Sutherland (as like rivals Bill H and Joe B and others ) was not at all the optimum quality but it was fun and enjoyable entertainment for the time and as evidenced by taking talented bright young men and women among them Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and even John K. (though he would like to forget his time there) Scheimer and Co's investments in such talent coupled with his risky bet of putting He-Man in first run and the profits that that show (and other cartoon commercials of the era) made helped nurture and finance that much beloved promised land "second golden age of American Animation" during the late 80s early 90s that so many modern animation aficionados, cartoon elitists, 90s kids, and TV historians both professional and amateur, such as myself, praise. speaking of John K I agree with you I have a love/hate relationship with John Kricfalusi (ironically similar to my love hate of another famed animation legend, Hayao Miyazaki, ) and although I respect his own contributions as a animation revolutionary and his passion as classic cartoon aficionado and creative GENIUS and educator and though some of his bitterness towards the state of animation is warranted much of Krisfaluci's critical bitterness towards 90% of animation outside his interests has made him too egotistically malicious and devoid of humanity. in his recent years he has created a unhealthy cultish elitist fanboy/girl following around him that has elevated him to a cult figure. all this from/for a man who hasn't had a successful TV show in 20 years and whose body of work of recent consists of his rant blog, doing cover art for Miley Cyrus and doing UFC commercials for Adult Swim. yet he is the all knowing all seeing all concerned Maharishi of anything and everything animated. makes me appreciate the candor honor humility sincerity and thorough professionalism of Scheimer Prescott and Sutherland and contemporaries among others a whole lot more. Thank you filmation.

[@donnicee8702]

WOW! Yes, Lou thank you. Putting smiles on kid's faces: mission accomplished! I didn't know Paul Dini worked at Filmation...now wonder all of the cartoons back then were soooo...good! R.I.P. Lou...you'll be deeply missed.

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

So many of Filmation's interesting and unforgettable shows were on throughout my childhood and later years. So it's awesome to find out how this unique animation studio went through the situations that made all of their lasting for "eternia" creations possible. Stay safe everyone!

Filmation had some of the best animation. It was very good for tv. The animation sequences were as good as Disney.

[@Kongkos]

Filmation's world was my childhood paradise... The sketches (beautiful beyond words) the paintings, the colors, the scapelands, the storytelings and the music themes were the best and they'd captivated me more than anyother artwork...Of course the King was the Masters of The Universe series and the Queen was She-ra: Princess Of Power series... The secret Of the Sword was a movie that should have won an oscar if you ask me. It has a very deep backround story, with a lot of meanings. I know that there are people that didn't like the motion part of the Filmation cartoons (they say that it was very slow) but it doesn't realy matter. The storytelling was so good that overshadowed any imperfections of the "moving" of the skethes. Beside I've always prefered an animation series with a good meaningful story instead of an animation series with perfect moving sketches and an empty and silly backround story. Now, My Dream.... I wish Filmation legasy to come alive again. I wish that there will be a day that a "new Filmation" company will take over and will use all these original super beautiful sketches and music themes enhanced with the new animation techniques and the new animation tecnology to make new stories that will continue the original stories of the Star Leader The Masters Of The Universe. I only wish.....

That's so funny that they ended up conning that SOB Mort Weisinger into getting the contract for the Superman series. Weisinger was such a bastard to his staff writers during his tenure at DC, guys like Otto Binder, Jerry Siegel and John Broome. Yeah, I loved Filmation. I still do. Credit to Scheimer, Prescott and Sutherland for keeping it going as long as they did.

[@rosewoodfretboard]

I would love to see those stock-shot sketch books. I could look through that for days and years and never get bored. Now because Filmation was notoriously thrifty, I doubt that any blooper reels exist from the vocal tracks because they probably recorded over the flubs (lol). But, to me, those would be worth their weight in gold.

Wish I'd seen this before Mr. Scheimer passed away, so I could thank him directly-not only for making such a huge chunk of my childhood entertainment, but for giving a start to people who would make the even better entertainment I would later enjoy as an adult: Paul Dini, J. Michael Stracynszki, Marc Scott Zicree and many others. Wherever he is, I hope he knows what an impact he had on so many lives.

[@susanfit47]

Apparently back in the late 60's, Filmation got an order from CBS to make The Batman/Superman Hour. But CBS ordered it pretty late, and Filmation had to rush to complete it. To try to get it done on time, Filmation started pulling animators they had working on other shows. They actually left one show so understaffed that CBS had to cancel it entirely, even though 6 episodes were supposedly completed and ready to air. That show was Metamorpho, the Elephant Man. Other then saying CBS shelved them, no mention was ever made on what happened to those 6 episodes.

[@loklo101]

[@ToddyBoddy1981]

Thankyou awesome video, RIP Lou Scheimer

[@umachan9286]

Filmation was a good company because they produced cartoons on the cheap. Corners were cut by reusing the same stock animations, sometimes tweaked a bit, and all their voice talent came from in house including Lou himself. This did lead to often strange voice choices or the same voice being used in different shows. While I was never a fan of their work I do have to admit they were successful at what they did.

[@WZ912]

Filmation's Animation Action Adventure cartoons was by far the best. Tarzan, He-man, Zorro, Lone Ranger, BlackStarr, Brave Starr, Flash Gordon. Every Character was so perfectly built. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful and and there movement was athletic realistic looking.

[@gilbertking]

I love this productions of Filmation since my childhood. Especially He-man and Bravestarr. Lou Scheimer is my true hero, and I'm sad, because he leave us.

[@alfredfeliciano543]

Man i used to remember even in CBS and NBC every Saturday Morning back home in NYC before living on and off in both places Puerto Rico and in my hometown New York City. watching the favorite cartoon shows from Filmation from the New Adventures of Batman to Tarzan and The Super Seven up to the Lone Ranger and Zorro hour even watching He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Ghostbusters and BraveStar in the late 80's oh yeah and who can no one forget Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids (which lead and inspired the hit movie Fat Albert and in fact i saw the movie the day after Christmas 2004 at Magic Johnson Theatres in Harlem and bought the DVD early 2005 which months later on September 9,2005 was the day i came back to live in Puerto Rico which with God's help real soon I'll be going back home to NY) unfortunately Filmation closed down it's doors 27 years ago. the shows had some positive messages with something special and magical for kids back in my Dad's days in the 60's all the way to our time when we were kid's in the late 70's and throughout the 1980s as well. it's a damn shame that younger generation today can never understand history and heritage especially when Filamtion cartoons n when we grew up watching especially the shows i watched on CBS every Saturday morning when there was a time where these historic Filmation cartoons had good advice for the kids from Staying in School all the way to say no to drugs where we always enjoyed watching real good television as part of the Saturday Morning Cartoon lineup be it from ABC, CBS, NBC even in the 90's from FOX, the old WB and UPN until 2006 where both were merged to what is today the CW network especially when there was a time were watching Saturday Morning Cartoons and enjoying eating a bowl of our favorite cereal are parts of really having fun, not like the junk you got on TV nowadays. especially reality TV shows what makes any show not even worth watching anymore.

Including getting dressed down by Lou if necessary! Rob Lamb said that Lou was a pretty mild mannered guy and reminded him of Jimmy Stewart, so hearing him drop F-bombs was serious.

Is So Very Good

[@rajvader]

Hanna-Barbera was the 900# gorilla of TV animation... Filmation was the closest thing they had to serious competition. One of the many differences between the companies was the attitude toward intellectual property. HB played very fast-and-loose. Their stock and trade was **mostly** knock-offs and thinly veiled copies of other works. (But they did it with a certain charm, somehow.) Filmation seemed to take it much more seriously. Most of their stuff was legitimately licensed and adapted. That's why they didn't come-off hypocritical when they took action on the big movie infringing on the Ghost Buster trademark... I found it kinda' interesting that, when they revived their original Ghostbusters in animated form, they seemed to go out of their way to make Spencer and Kong (who appeared in the pilot) *not* look like Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker. I'm guessing so as not to infringe on their likenesses.
