501_0 | DePatie–Freleng Enterprises (also known as Mirisch–Geoffrey–DePatie–Freleng Productions when |
501_1 | involved with the Mirisch brothers and Geoffrey Productions; and DFE Films) was an American |
501_2 | animation production company that was active from 1963 to 1981. Based in Burbank, DFE produced |
501_3 | animation for film and television. |
501_4 | Notable among these are the opening titles for The Pink Panther, its sequels and an associated |
501_5 | series of theatrical shorts featuring the character of the same name, entries in the Looney Tunes |
501_6 | and Merrie Melodies series from 1964 to 1967, the Dr. Seuss television specials from 1971 to 1982, |
501_7 | the lightsaber effects in the original Star Wars, and the Time for Timer ABC public service |
501_8 | announcements in the early 1970s. |
501_9 | History |
501_10 | Origins |
501_11 | DFE was formed by two former employees at Warner Bros. Cartoons, director/composer/producer Friz |
501_12 | Freleng and executive David H. DePatie, after Warner Bros. closed its animation studio in 1963. |
501_13 | Although Freleng and DePatie were no longer working for Warner Bros., a generous gesture from a |
501_14 | Warner executive allowed Freleng and DePatie to lease the former Warner cartoons studio on |
501_15 | California Street in Burbank, complete with equipment and supplies for a few dollars each year. |
501_16 | Although DFE's initial business was commercials and industrial films, several lucky breaks put the |
501_17 | new studio into the theatrical cartoon business. |
501_18 | Director Blake Edwards contacted DFE and asked them to design a panther character for Edwards's new |
501_19 | film, The Pink Panther. Pleased with the design for the character, Edwards contracted with DFE to |
501_20 | produce the animated titles for the film. Upon the film's release, the titles garnered a tremendous |
501_21 | amount of attention, so much that a large amount of the picture's gross is believed to have been |
501_22 | generated by the success of DFE's title sequence. |
501_23 | DFE soon agreed to a contract with United Artists to produce a series of cartoon shorts featuring |
501_24 | the Pink Panther, which would include over 100 shorts for both theatrical release and television |
501_25 | through 1980. Also in 1964, Freleng and DePatie's old employer, Warner Bros., contracted with DFE |
501_26 | to produce new Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons for television. |
501_27 | DePatie and Freleng found themselves overflowing with work. Many of the animators who had worked at |
501_28 | Warner Bros. in the 1950s and 1960s returned to the old Warner cartoon studio to work for DFE. The |
501_29 | first entry in the Pink Panther series, The Pink Phink, was directed by Freleng and won the studio |
501_30 | its only Academy Award in 1964. In 1966, DFE would receive another Academy Award nomination for The |
501_31 | Pink Blueprint. |
501_32 | The Pink Panther and other television series |
501_33 | The Pink Panther theatrical series of cartoons became the basis of a Saturday morning television |
501_34 | series, The Pink Panther Show, which also included theatrical cartoons of The Inspector and |
501_35 | eventually The Ant and the Aardvark, Roland and Rattfink, and The Texas Toads (Tijuana Toads). Like |
501_36 | most animated television cartoons at the time, The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track with |
501_37 | narration. The cartoons were edited and in some cases re-dubbed to meet television standards and |
501_38 | practices for content. |
501_39 | The Pink Panther Show had several incarnations during the 1970s. The show was very popular on NBC's |
501_40 | Saturday morning line-up, starting as a half-hour program and expanding a few years later to 90 |
501_41 | minutes each week. The studio provided the animated sequences for the 1969–1970 television series |
501_42 | My World and Welcome to It based on the drawings of James Thurber. DFE was one of the |
501_43 | subcontractors for the 1964–1967 Warner Bros. cartoons, along with Format Productions. |
501_44 | The Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts made by the studio can be easily identified by their |
501_45 | modernized "Abstract WB" opening and closing sequences (although the "Abstract WB" opening and |
501_46 | closing sequences were first used in three cartoons made by Warner Bros. Cartoons). However, select |
501_47 | 1964–1967 DePatie–Freleng Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies (most notably those directed by Rudy |
501_48 | Larriva) were panned by fans and critics alike. DFE did not continue doing Warner cartoon work |
501_49 | until the late 1970s/early 1980s, with the TV specials Bugs Bunny's Easter Special (1977), Bugs |
501_50 | Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales (1979), and Daffy Duck's Easter Egg-Citement (1980). |
501_51 | DFE also created Return to the Planet of the Apes, which ran on NBC from 1975 to 1976 and The |
501_52 | Oddball Couple, which ran on Saturday mornings on ABC from 1975 to 1977. One of the studio's |
501_53 | television specials was The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas (1973), with Tommy Smothers voicing |
501_54 | the little bear who goes out to find Christmas (in the human world) while his fellow bears head for |
501_55 | hibernation. DFE was also responsible for a number of Dr. Seuss specials, including The Cat In The |
501_56 | Hat and different incarnations of The Grinch. |
501_57 | Later years |
501_58 | Inflation, the increasing costs of producing theatrical cartoons, and the pressures of producing TV |
501_59 | series caused the quality of DFE's output to drop in the mid-to-late 1970s. In 1981, Freleng and |
501_60 | DePatie sold DFE Films to Marvel Comics, and Freleng returned to Warner Bros. Animation, which |
501_61 | Warner Bros. had re-opened the previous year, to produce a series of feature films featuring |
501_62 | vintage Warner cartoons with new connecting footage. DePatie made the transition to become the head |
501_63 | of Marvel Productions, as DFE was renamed. The DePatie–Freleng name was later revived in-name-only |
501_64 | in 1984 for Pink Panther and Sons, which was otherwise entirely produced by Hanna-Barbera |
501_65 | Productions. |
501_66 | Although Marvel produced mainly superhero cartoons and animated series based on licensed toy lines |
501_67 | (including Hasbro properties), it continued to produce new productions starring the Pink Panther (a |
501_68 | special for television Pink at First Sight and motion picture titles for Trail of the Pink Panther |
501_69 | and Curse of the Pink Panther). Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation would later make a 1993 revival show |
501_70 | of the Pink Panther as a joint venture between MGM, Mirisch-Geoffrey-DePatie-Freleng and United |
501_71 | Artists, a decade after DFE's merger with Marvel and Mirisch/UA's merger into MGM. |
501_72 | In 1993, Marvel Productions was renamed to New World Animation, and was completely absorbed in 1996 |
501_73 | after News Corporation purchased New World Entertainment, ending the life of the studio that once |
501_74 | was DFE. Marvel would eventually continue to produce animated shows through a partnership with |
501_75 | Saban Entertainment, which had recently acquired a 50% stake in Fox Kids. In 2001, Fox Family |
501_76 | Worldwide (which included Saban Entertainment) were sold to The Walt Disney Company. |
501_77 | Subsequent ownership |
501_78 | In 2009, The Walt Disney Company purchased Marvel Entertainment, bringing DFE's libraries of |
501_79 | all-original and Marvel Comics-based cartoons full circle under one roof; all of these properties |
501_80 | are now distributed by Disney–ABC Domestic Television. The Dr. Seuss specials animated by DFE are |
501_81 | currently distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment through the Dr. Seuss estate. |
501_82 | While the television catalog has often changed hands over the years, the theatrical cartoons |
501_83 | continue to be owned by their original distributors: United Artists (via its current corporate |
501_84 | parent, MGM) for The Mirisch Company cartoon library and Warner Bros. for the Looney Tunes/Merrie |
501_85 | Melodies cartoons. |
501_86 | List of theatrical and television cartoons |
501_87 | In a short time, DFE began producing television shows as well as theatricals and specials, becoming |
501_88 | a competitor to Hanna-Barbera and Filmation. The studio's various cartoons, specials and shows are |
501_89 | listed below. |
