Larry Harmon Pictures was the production company of Larry Harmon, who had acquired the rights to the characters Bozo the Clown. The company produced cartoons featuring Bozo the Clown, as well as Popeye, Mr. Magoo, Dick Tracy and Laurel & Hardy.[1] The staff at the studio included former Disney animator Hal Sutherland and Lou Scheimer. After Harmon exited the animation business, Scheimer and Sutherland, along with producer Norm Prescott, formed Filmation, which went on to be a leading producer of television animation.
