Preserving a Saturday Morning tradition and a legendary animation studio? Ans: Warner Archive
There are two names in the entertainment business, one that is keeping the dreams and fantasy from the 60’s alive with all the cartoon fanfare that made up that era and dominated the American Television sets on a Saturday morning. And one that actually produced 80% of that programming over 4 decades. Taking the best care to maintain these childhood memories of several generations Warner Archive DVD/Bluray division has been restoring animated series from that era for almost a decade, celebrating 9 years. With the utmost care and this no small feat. We are talking a library a 1000 fold many times over. But to appreciate what they have accomplished we have to transcend the very barrier of time itself to the origin of the very source.

Kool-aid and Funny Face were the drinks of choice.
Right: It’s time to cool off with Kool Aid
