Mel-O-Toons
was a series of six-minute color fillers which used
limited animation to illustrate preexisting 45 rpm
children's records. Some of the cartoons featured famous
legends, fairy tales and literary works, while others
offered classical music as background to animal stories,
using narration by top announcers such as Don Wilson, Stan
Freberg, Patrick McGeehan, Art Gilmore and Jane Pickens.
The series was originally developed to showcase the
works of author Thornton Burgess (Peter Cottontail, Paddy
the Beaver) utilizing both live-action and animated
segments. It was expanded to 104 episodes which
necessitated using material other than the work of
Burgess. |
