Lawrence.

This animation company produced commercials and low-budget animated television shows until it went bankrupt in 1968 after the death of Grant Simmons. <ref name=slmbm>Template:Cite book</ref> and its distributor, Krantz Films, took over production. The best-known of those animated shows are its adaptations of superheroes from Marvel Comics, the earliest such adaptations for electronic media. Before then, it did sub-contracted work on Top Cat, The Jetsons, The Dick Tracy Show, and The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
