Bray Studios

Founded in December of 1914 by J. R. Bray, Bray Productions was an important early pioneer in cartoon production. The first studio to specialize in animated films, J. R. Bray gave many animators their start in the business, including Walter Lantz, Paul Terry, James "Shamus" Culhane, Clyde Geronimi and David Hand. Even Dave and Max Fleischer joined the studios ranks in 1916.
