Lobby Cards: Terry-Toons Characters
Mike Fontanelli brought by a set of Terrytoons character lobby cards for us to digitize. "It's pretty unusual to find sets of cards" Mike explained, "because collectors back in the 70s would pull out the Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckyl and trash the rest." Terrytoons are vastly underrated. ASIFA-Hollywood is fortunate to have a complete syndication package of Terrytoons on broadcast quality 3/4 inch masters. We've digitized nearly 900 Terry-Toons to date.Many thanks to Mike Fontanelli for lending us these great lobby cards to scan...

These are beutiful. I remember the days of placards outside theaters on Saturday mornings advertising "10 Color Cartoons" and a couple of lobby cards like these were taped to these signs.
Eventually they started adding features like "Francis the Talking Mule" or "Abbott & Costello meet Jack and the Beanstalk" but there were always the "
10 color cartoons." In New York it meant Terrytoons or maybe a Popeye or two. Never a Disney. Rarely a WB. Never - never MGM.
Nearly 900 Terrytoons, eh? Does this include "Flebus"?
Yes, we have Flebus. The database contains a complete run of the Deitch era Terry theatrical cartoons. We also have all of the Tom Terrifics and TV Sidneys. Lots of interesting stuff.
