Ludwig Bemelmans' Madeline made her animation debut for UPA in 1952, and that introductory entry was nominated for an Academy Award, losing to Tom & Jerry.
Seven years later, William Snyder & Gene Deitch's Rembrandt Films produced a trio of adaptations of Bemelmans' books. I think these eventually found their way to television, but I am not entirely sure. As you'll see, the Pennsylvania school system took a chance on these shorts, with the artwork lifted directly from Bemelmans' work, a tactic used another 7 years later for The Marvel Superheroes Show.
Right here, we have "Madeline & The Gypsies". The narrator is not credited.
As we know, Madeline eventually made it to television (HBO, ABC, Family Channel). This story was adapted for television in 1991.
No rating.
