Summary:

Newly restored from 4K scans of original studio materials, Cartoon Logic is proud to present the Famous Studios Champion Collection with 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, 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 Technicolorʼ, the Famous Studios Champion Collection features 18 cartoons in all including: comic's 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.
