Sprixie Cartoons

Background
"Sprixie Cartoons" was formerly the in house animation division of Sprixie Studios. It was formed in 1916, and was considered to be one of Sprixie Studios's first division labels. The studio was responsible for it's cartoons, such as "Harry the Magican", "Tick Tock", and many others. It was also the first cartoon division to exist.

Like most other cartoon studios, was one of the most successful animation studios in American history. The division was founded by the Sprixie Princesses and had the goal to produce it's own cartoons, and even distribute some other cartoons as well.

Most cartoon divisions shut down in the 60s. However, alongside Universal Cartoons, "Sprixie Cartoons" survived throughout the 60s, but in 1972, the division was shut down by the Sprixie Princesses, along with Universal Cartoons that same year.

1st Logo (December 14th, 1916-August 29th, 1924)
Opening Logo: On a black background, or on the film's opening scene, we see a replica of the 1911 Sprixie Studios logo. The script font is slightly modifed to be a bit cartoonish, "CORP." is dropped from the logo, and the copyright date reads, "Copyright © (1916) Sprixie Studios Corp.". The Sprixies are still present though.

Variants:


 * On some early cartoons, the movie logo is used.
 * Depending on the cartoon, two of the following Sprixies can be seen.
 * Green and Yellow - Some cartoons
 * Blue and Yellow - Only on very few cartoons
 * Orange and Purple - Rarely seen on cartoons
 * Cyan and Red - Commonly seen on cartoons, and on specials
 * Starting in 2000, some cartoons were restored by the Sprixie Princesses and therfore, the logo is now in color. The statue is in yellow, the candle flames are orange, and the Sprixie's have their usual coloring.
 * "Sprixie Cartoons"'s first cartoon, "Light 'n Day", had the movie logo in a sepia tone.
