Color Classics were cartoons produced by Fleischer Studios of Paramount Pictures from 1921 to 1942. The cartoons were known to be the creations of some of the most famous cartoon characters such as Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor Man and the 1940s cartoons of Superman among others, because of this Fleischer Studios became the significant competior of The Walt Disney Company.
Because of these cartoons now being in the public domain, the crew of Shining Time Station used some of the films in their song segments, along with Noveltoons. ComiColor and George Pal's Puppetoons.
