Van Beuren Studios
From Free net encyclopedia
Van Beuren Studios was an animation studio that produced theatrical cartoons from 1928-1936. They closed their doors during 1936 because their distributor, RKO Radio Pictures, dropped Van Beuren's product and acquired Walt Disney Productions as its new animation producer.
Popular cartoon series from Van Beuren were:
- Cubby Bear
- Tom and Jerry (later renamed "Dick and Larry" in the 1950s)
Van Beuren also made cartoons using popular characters such as Felix The Cat and the Toonerville Trolley cast in the mid-1930s.
In addition the Van Beuren Corporation acquired and produced live action shorts. In 1932, Van Beuren purchased several Charlie Chaplin silent films, and added soundtracks to them for reissue.
