The DePatie-Freleng Collection - CRAZYLEGS CRANE - Kino Lorber Blu Ray 2016 Crazylegs Crane is a 16-episode made-for-television cartoon series produced by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises in 1978 for The All New Pink Panther Show on ABC. This was Crazylegs Crane's first series dedicated solely to him. Previously, he had made regular appearances in the three DePatie-Freleng animated comedies, Tijuana Toads, The Blue Racer and The Dogfather. Larry D. Mann voiced him in all but two of his appearances, with Bob Holt voicing him in the Tijuana Toads short "Flight to the Finish", and Daws Butler voicing him in the Dogfather short "The Goose That Laid a Golden Egg". Episodes Life With Feather Crane Brained King of the Swamp Sonic Broom Winter Blunderland Storky and Hatch Fly by Knight Sneaker Snack Barnacle Bird Animal Crack-ups Jet Feathers Nest Quest Bug Off Beach Bummer Flower Power Trail of the Lonesome Mine DFE was founded by two former Hanna-Barbera Cartoons and Warner Bros. Cartoons employees, director/composer/producer Friz Freleng and executive David H. DePatie, after Warner Bros. closed its animation studio in 1963. A generous gesture from a Warner executive allowed Freleng and DePatie to lease the former Warner cartoons studio for a few dollars each year. Although DFE's initial business was commercials and industrial films, several lucky breaks put the new studio into the theatrical cartoon business. DePatie and Freleng found themselves overflowing with work. Many of the animators who had worked at Warner Bros. in the 1950s and 1960s returned to the old Warner cartoon studio to work for DFE. The All New Pink Panther Show (1978–1979) was a new version of the series. For its tenth season, ABC-TV picked up the series and requested 32 new made-for-television Pink Panther shorts, along with 16 entries for the new Crazylegs Crane segment. #crazylegscrane #depatiefreleng #pinkpanther #tijuanatoads #blueracer #texastoads #thedogfather #larrydmann #bobholt #dawsbutler #looneytunes #frizfreleng #TheAllNewPinkPantherShow #unitedartists #dfefilms #dfe#DePatieFrelengEnterprises #MirischGeoffreyDePatieFreleng #warnerbroscartoons #birdsofinstagram (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_OajskBYb6/?igshid=esdea9vo7ye
