| - Filmation were perhaps best known for producing He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, which was also released on VHS in Australia by CEL Home Video.
- A trademark of the company's productions beginning in 1969 was a rotating "Produced by" (and on some shows, "Executive Producers") credit seen in the end credits (and in later productions, the opening sequences) of Filmation programs, a device that was supposedly created to allow them to share equal billing (previously, Scheimer's name was placed above Prescott's), although later Filmation productions credited only Scheimer, in the form of his signature ("Lou Scheimer, Executive Producer"), starting with 1982's Gilligan's Planet. Many of its shows—particularly the productions of the late 1970s and 1980s are notable for imparting a simple moral or life-lesson (explained by a key character, in a child-friendly manner) in the epilogue.

- thumb|Das Filmation-Logo Filmation Associates war eine US-amerikanische Filmproduktionsfirma, welche in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zahllose Cartoonserien für das Fernsehen produzierte. Filmation wurde 1963 von Norm Prescott und Lou Scheimer in Los Angeles gegründet, mit an Bord war von Anfang an auch Hal Sutherland. Zunächst beschränkte sich die Arbeit der Firma auf die Produktion von animierten Werbespots, doch nach nur zwei Jahren nach der Gründung wurden mit der Produktion der Serie Ein Job für Superman neue Wege beschritten, und infolge eine ganze Reihe von Cartoonserien für das Samstagmorgen-Programm verschiedenster TV-Sender produziert. Filmation konnte so zu einem der wichtigsten Konkurrenten von Hanna-Barbera, dem damals im Bereich Cartoonserien führenden Studio, aufsteigen. Neben den Cartoons wurden auch einige "Live-Action"-Serien gedreht. Darunter auch Science-Fiction-Serien wie Ark II (1976, u.a. mit Terry Lester), Die Weltraum-Akademie (1977, u.a. mit Brian Tochi und Pamelyn Ferdin) und Jason of Star Command (1978, u.a. mit James Doohan und Sid Haig). Scheimer und Prescott fungierten als Produzenten der Cartoonserien wohingegen Sutherland das gros der Regiearbeit übernahm. 1972 traten sie an Gene Roddenberry heran, um die Rechte für die Produktion einer auf [[]] basierenden Cartoonserie zu erwerben. Nach erstem Zögern stimmte Roddenberry zu, verlangte jedoch die kreative Kontrolle über die Serie. Von 1973 bis 1974 wurden infolge 22 Episoden von [[]] produziert. Nachdem die Firma mehrmals den Eigentümer wechselte, erwarb sie 1987 der Kosmetikhersteller L'Oreal, der den Produktionsbetrieb schon nach kurzer Zeit einstellte. Gerüchten zufolge soll dies aus steuerlichen Gründen geschehen sein. Die letzte Produktion, Happily Ever After, eine Art Fortsetzung der Schneewittchen-Geschichte, kam 1993 in Spielfilmlänge in die Kinos. Während ihrer aktiven Zeit war die Firma für ihre Low-Budget-Politik bekannt. Da sich die Verantwortlichen weigerten, wie die meisten ihrer Konkurrenten im günstigeren Ausland zu produzieren, schlugen sich die hohen Lohnkosten der Produktionsangestellten in vielen Fällen in der Qualität der Animation nieder. So wurde die Technik der "limited-animation" (6 bis 12 anstatt 24 Bilder pro Sekunde) angewandt, und viele der Animationen wurden "recycled". Dadurch, und durch den enormen Zeitdruck, dem die Produktion von TAS unterlag, finden sich in fast jeder Episode der Serie mehrere kleine Animationsfehler. Trotz allem erhielten die von Filmation produzierten Serien einen ganz bestimmten Stil und hohen Wiedererkennungswert und erfreuten sich bei Fans großer Beliebtheit.

* Jughead Jones, from Filmation's various Archie series, also guest starred. The background music for the J story was the "Hot Dog Theme" (by Ray Ellis and Filmation director Norm Prescott), used to underscore Jughead's pet Hot Dog.
