In 1943 the newly formed Famous Studios completed it's relocation to New York City. Virtually all of their staff, which consisted of many of the original Fleischer Studios New York staffers, made the return move with them. Famous occupied space in two buildings in the heart of New York City, at 25 and 35 West 45th Street.
If you had walked into the offices of Famous Studios in the 1950's you would have been been greeted in the entry hall by these cells (shown in the post below) depicting their most well-known characters. These are scans of those actual cells.
This blog is in memory of Seymour Kneitel, an exceptional animator and director from the Golden Age of Animation. His career in animation began at the age of 16, attending high school during the day while working after school and Saturdays for Bray Studios, an early pioneering animation studio. The major portion of his later animation career was spent with Fleischer Studios and its' two successor studios... Famous Studios and Paramount Cartoon Studios.
