"Crusader Rabbit" on Texas
The very first animated series specifically made for television was
"Crusader Rabbit" first airing in 1950 right here in L.A. It was
co-created by Jay Ward, and is generally considered to be a direct
philsophical ancestor to Jay Ward productions like "Rocky and His
Friends" that came a bit later (and of course were the subject of my
infamous celebrity "Jay Ward Film Festival" at UCLA back in the early
1980s, but I digress -- I really need to get the audio of that back
online).
Crusader Rabbit's animation was very crude, but the writing showed
where we were headed in this genre, right from the start.
To wit: Note the opening narration of the very first episode
of the series, which some observers might consider to be even
more relevant right now.
