The title card for these shorts.

Phantasies is the name of a series of animated cartoons produced by the Screen Gems studio for Columbia Pictures from 1939 to 1946.[1] The series, featuring characters such as Willoughby Wren and Superkatt, is notable as being the last theatrical animated series produced in black-and-white by a major studio. To cut costs, Columbia did not move the Phantasies out of black-and-white until the end of 1946, when it went to all-Cinecolor production.[2]
