Talk:Unknown Generation 1 animation studios

I did wonder about this news item which Nevermore linked to on the Talk:Toei page, which seems to suggest that it was Toei's Filipino branch. But that were only set up in 1986, unless they're wrong about the date... --abates 16:48, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I forgot about that little nugget. I added it to the article, though since the dates don't match up, we can't be certain, I suppose. --DrSpengler 18:37, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

Maybe it was Burbank Animation?

Maybe this studio was Burbank Animation? The studio was a Philippine division of Burbank Films Australia, based out of Makati, and multiple people who worked there mentioned several Marvel shows on their resume, including My Little Pony, Jem and Defenders of the Earth.--71.142.249.86 01:13, 4 November 2009 (EST)

Indeed! And it was set up in 1983, so it'd fit the time period. --abates 02:04, 4 November 2009 (EST)

Burbank's official website doesn't list any of their farmed-out work for other studios, unfortunately. IMDB doesn't even list their work prior to 1989. Then again, that site just seems to be focused on their Australian division with no mention of their Filipino joint. This article says the Filipino studio was founded in 1983, but I can't find anything listing the shows they've worked on. Any way we can get a link to interviews with some of those Burbank employees who said they worked on Marvel/Sunbow productions? --DrSpengler 08:55, 4 November 2009 (EST)

I found a "Boy Sibulo Aureliano" who lists Transformers in his resume, and he wa an animator for Burbank Animations from '83 to '88. I've sent him an email. --FortMax 14:08, 4 November 2009 (EST)
