Background

Founded in early 1991, Turner Feature Animation was Turner Entertainment's theatrical animation division headed by David Kirschner and Paul Gertz. Spun off from the feature film division of Hanna-Barbera Productions, the studio produced only two films: The Pagemaster and Cats Don't Dance. When Turner and Time Warner merged on October 10, 1996, Turner Feature Animation was absorbed into Warner Bros. Feature Animation.
