Golden Age of American Animation - Other Studios

Other Studios

After losing his Aesop's Film Fables series to Van Beuren Studios in 1929, Paul Terry established a new studio called Terrytoons. Neither the Van Beuren studio nor the Terrytoon studio were able to compete with the success of any of the other studios, Disney in particular.

In 1934, as other studios were putting cartoons in Technicolor to answer to Disney's Silly Symphonies cartoon series, Van Beuren Studio abandoned its remaining cartoons and answered Disney's use of Technicolor by creating the Rainbow Parade series, which was all color. However, the series was not a success, and by 1936, RKO Pictures, the owner of the Van Beuren Studio, closed the Van Beuren Studio as RKO chose to instead distribute Disney cartoons.
