A Animation Studio Named Fil-Cartoons

First, there was Hanna-Barbera Australia, then there was Wang Film Productions and then were was...

Fil-Cartoons, a Philippines-based animation studio founded by Jerry Smith, who is one of the cameramen at Hanna-Barbera.

The studio was founded in 1987 as a subsidiarity of Hanna-Barbera, which most of the shows were produced like The Smurfs, The Pirates of Dark Water, Tom & Jerry Kids, What A Cartoon!, The Addams Family (1992 Animated Series), Dexter's Labortory (the first six episodes mainly), among others.

The studio is also produced non-H-B shows as well, like Tiny Toon Adventures and The Mask animated series.


Here's three of the videos of the studio:

 The animation tour from early 1996 or something...

...A animated short film about Jerry Smith (It's kinda funny, too!)

...and a pictures of the studio (with "The Flintstones" theme included!!)

The studio also produced a Bangladeshi animated show called Meena

 Sadly, the studio closed in 2001, and this is one of my favorite animation studios ever!!!
