Orbit Animation

1937-1943
In 1937, Vasksein Pictures established an animation department led by animator Paul Lovitz in order to invest on the segment and to compete with the likes of Walt Disney Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Cartoons, Warner Bros. Cartoons, Paramount Pictures-backed Fleischer Studios, Universal Studios-distributed Walter Lantz Studio, Terrytoons and Columbia Pictures-backed Screen Gems, with its most famous creation being the one of Colton Condor.

1947-1955
Following the end of World War II and the consequent collapse of Vasksein Pictures, Paul Lovitz acquired the rights over his created characters and formed a society with independent producers to resume production of shorts, forming the bulk of Greenfield Pictures in 1951.

1969-1973
In 1969, Orbit Pictures ceased the production of theatrical animated shorts and shifted its focus to the production of animated films, with the studio being renamed Orbit Animation.
