Burbank Films Australia

Burbank Films Australia was an Australian animation-production company that in a span of eight years produced over thirty different animated films. These films were presented to the public through television or direct-to-video debuts. One of these was the 1988 film Peter Pan, an adaptation of the original play.

History
The company's first animated productions in 1982 were a series of adaptations of books from Charles Dickens; these first few films characterized themselves by their grim appeal. The sketch-styled backgrounds and the simplicity of the original score, such as in Oliver Twist (1982), added to the dramatic tone of those first stories. The eight total Dickens adaptations were produced during two years. At the same time, in 1983, the company produced a short series of adaptations of Sherlock Holmes stories, adapted from the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the years that followed, until 1988, Burbank adapted the works of many other well known authors and legends, including Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers among many others.

In 1991, the company was resurrected under the name of Burbank Animation Studios, from then until the present time, the new studio has continued the production of the "Animated Classics".
