A company that branched from "The SiB Company" (the other branch was "Sib Tower-12, Inc." with Chuck Jones) that was founded by Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott. (All three of these companies had a downwards-pointing chevron, or V-shaped arrow, in their logos) Filmation's logo also contained a smiley face, and later changed to a multicolor logo on a black background.
Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott had a spinning "producers" logo until Norm Prescott's semi-retirement. They animated for Star Trek, Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids, The Tom & Jerry Comedy Show, and BraveStarr. It also produced "The Ghost Busters", a live action program that was made before the popular film "Ghostbusters". The two concepts are not related.
Filmation competed with Hanna-Barbera because Filmation made a Batman show with Adam West and Burt Ward during Hanna-Barbera's Superfriends (which also had Batman and Robin, but not voiced by Adam West and Burt Ward). During the 1980s, Hanna-Barbera began outsourcing its animation and co-producing with Wang Film Productions Cuckoo's Nest Studio. Meanwhile, Filmation boasted "Made Entirely in the USA." in the production credits.
Filmation is owned by DreamWorks. Nobody has made any shows under the Filmation name since 1988.

"Filmation should have done He-Man and the Masters of the Universe without Orko."
"I agree. Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids is way better."

Get the Filbo mug.The state of being held in regard by someone you deeply admire as a merely a friend-acquaintance specific to a mutually-similar interrelated working role, or roles, within one or more film productions only, instead of being their romantic love partner or deeper sexual interest in real life. The best case scenario of becoming “filmzoned” is when a real friendship emerges off-stage, regardless of whether or not the original intentions for entering into the friendship remain or transform.
Person 1: I had a brilliant time working on the film with you. I’m glad we are such good friends!
Person 2: I agree; I feel we share a very special, intimate connection. Remember the time we passionately kissed in the film we did together? That was really something, wasn’t it?
Person 1: Oh my gosh! Yes!! What a beautiful scene! I will always cherish these friendly memories of our dear friendship, may we be forever friends and friends always. You know, I’m always Here To Co-Star for you if you find another big-budget production. Anyways, I’ve got to run: the director and I have a hot date this evening! I have to say, his box office returns aren’t the only big thing about him that I enjoy. Ciao!
Person 2: Oh bollocks, I’ve been filmzoned!
