Filmation

Filmation was an animation studio founded by Lou Scheimer, working primarily in television, known for producing The Archie Show, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Fat Albert, and several animated series based on DC Comics characters. The studio later produced a few live-action Saturday morning series, most notably Shazam! (1974-1977).
==Segments==
The studio contributed several animated Sesame Street inserts, some featuring stock footage and others new animation, showcasing their then current comic-based stars.
===Batman===
Filmation produced new animated footage of Batman for several segments, with the same voices (Olan Soule as Batman and Casey Kasem as Robin).
