One of the most successful and groundbreaking television animation studios was Filmation, whose productions shaped Saturday mornings and daytime syndication from the 1960s to the 1980s. From Superman, Batman, and Aquaman to The Archies, from Fat Albert and the Groovie Goolies to the live-action
Shazam! and
Isis series, up to the groundbreaking
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, She-Ra Princess of Power, Ghostbusters, and
Bravestarr, Filmation created the shows that entertained and educated a generation. Making his final convention appearance is Filmation founder

Darrell McNeil (
Hero High, Shazam, Tarzan and the Super 7) director/writer/animator
