Famous Studios Famous Studios (renamed Paramount Cartoon Studios in 1956) was the first animation division of the film studio Paramount Pictures from 1942 to 1967. Famous was founded as a successor company to Fleischer Studios, after Paramount seized control of the aforementioned studio and ousted its founders, Max and Dave Fleischer, in 1941. The studio's productions included three series started by the Fleischers—"Popeye the Sailor", "Superman", and "Screen Songs"—as well as "Little Audrey", "Little Lulu", "Casper the Friendly Ghost", "Honey Halfwitch", "Herman and Katnip", "Baby Huey", and the anthology "Noveltoons" series.
