Little LuLu Animated Cartoon Brief History Moment

Do you remember "little LuLu " animated cartoons? This little girl was something else, always into something that would drive you crazy. She reminded me of a female "Dennis The Menace" which of course came years later. Little LuLu started out as comic strip in 1935 and debuted in a February edition of the Saturday Evening Post. Marjorie Henderson Buell (Marge) was the author and artist of the comic strip which ran from 1935-1947 then in 1950 Little LuLu became syndicated series with the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate, it ran until 1969.

Now about the animated short Films that were made in 1943 thru 1948. These 26 shorts were produced by Famous Studios which was affiliated with Paramount Pictures. There is not a lot to write about the 26 shorts that were made, except they were successful and Paramount Studios did not want to pay royalty fees on the new upcoming contract. They decided to make their own animated short "Little Audrey", dirty dogs!

Well I guess that's just business. Here is a " Little LuLu" Cartoon short for you below, and you can see why they were so successful. BJ 🙈🙉🙊
