Fred Wolf Films Dublin is an animation studio in Dublin, Ireland founded by Fred Wolf, and Jimmy Murakami (the latter of whom worked on the TV special The Snowman). It was originally founded as MW (Murakami Wolf). The studio produced The Point, the first U.S. animated special to air in prime time (on the ABC network in 1971). It was also responsible for Free to Be… You and Me, the Puff the Magic Dragon specials, and television series such as the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, James Bond Jr., and Sarah Ferguson's Budgie the Little Helicopter.
It was named for founders Jimmy Murakami and Fred Wolf, as well as partner Charles Swenson. It later became known as MWS (Murakami-Wolf-Swenson; with Charles Swenson who had already been with the company for some time) and even later as MWD (Murakami-Wolf-Dublin) before eventually adopting its current name.

Famous quotes containing the words fred, wolf and/or films:
“He was warned. And now he’s paid. Let him be buried with the other victims of human greed and folly.”
—Cyril Hume, and Fred McLeod Wilcox. Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon)
“And life, the flicker of men and moths and the wolf on the hill,
Though furious for continuance, passionately feeding, passionately
Remaking itself upon its mates, remembers deep inward
The calm mother, the quietness of the womb and the egg,”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
