<p><b>New page</b></p><div><div class="WPC-editableContent"><div><u>Background</u><font size="3">: FilmFair was a animation studio founded by Gus Jekel in 1968 in Los Angeles. Jekel had asked Graham Clutterbuck to open an office in Europe, so he opened one in Paris and later moved the office to London. The company's productions over the years include the 1975 animated version of <i>Paddington</i>, <i>Astro Farm</i>, <i>The Legend of White Fang</i>, and <i>The Wombles</i>. In 1987, the company was acquired by Central Independent Television. Central sold FilmFair to the Storm Group in 1991, and FilmFair's american branch was acquired by AGC (which was purchased by Discovery Communications in 2003). In 1996, Storm Group sold FilmFair London to Cinar. Cinar later got into a financial scandal in 2000, and Cinar was sold to an investor group who changed the name to Cookie Jar in 2004. Currently, the FilmFair London library is now owned by DHX Media.</font></div><font size="3"><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div>1st Logo</font><div><font size="3">(1969-1979)</font></div><div></div><div><u><font size="3"><br/></font></u></div><div><font size="3"><u>Logo</u>:<font color="#333333"> On a </font><font color="#ffff00">yellow</font><font color="#333333"> square, we see a carousel horse and next to the square we see the words "Created By FilmFair, London" in </font>black<font color="#333333">.
