| − | The creation of a series of animated features based on classic children's stories was conceived by Jack Thinnes, Media Director at Sive Advertising in [[Cincinnati]], [[Ohio]]. The series was created for a Sive client, [[Kenner Products]], and each program was fully sponsored by Kenner on CBS Television Network on Sunday, late afternoon or early evening, during the prime toy selling season before Christmas. The idea to use classic children's books sprang from Thinnes' viewing of a two-minute demo of Dickens' ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'', which was produced by Walter Hucker's studio, Air Programs International (API), of Sydney, Australia. API was purchased later by Hanna-Barbera Studios after Thinnes introduced the owners of the studios to one another. After the series ran on CBS for nearly ten years, it was moved into local syndication by Sive's syndication department. However, their adaptation of ''A Christmas Carol'' was such a favorite that it continued to run on the network for fifteen years. |
