In the Sixties, Filmation was one of the cartoon studios that began competing with Hanna-Barbera for Saturday morning TV network time. Comic book artist Curt Swan is mentioned in this featurette, and I’ll say more about him in my next post.
Filmation later produced a well-regarded Star Trek TV cartoon that featured writing worthy of the original series.
As stated in the featurette, Filmation co-founder Norm Prescott was originally a radio announcer. In the 50’s he had a stint here in Boston on WBZ-AM 1030, as heard in this aircheck.
Somebody who was interested in both radio and cartoons? Sorry, can’t relate. 😉
