Campbell-Silver-Cosby Corporation was a one time production company from Philadelphia and Beverly Hills owned by Bill Cosby, Roy Silver, and Bruce Campbell in conjunction with CBS, NBC, and Warner Brothers for Bill Cosby’s specials from 1967 to 1969. The 1969 special of It’s Fat Albert! and The Door were the best known cartoons the product company had produced.
Here is what happened with Campbell-Silver-Cosby Corporation! Due to corporate conflict of interest, bad animation quality, poor production teams, shady business practices, lack of security, and other pressures, Bill Cosby had decided to end his productions deals with NBC and Warner Brothers. In other words, the 1969 special of It’s Fat Albert was not a hit with NBC executives and staff because of its poor animation production quality and it was deemed “too educational”. So NBC pulled the plug on Campbell-Silver-Cosby Corporation in 1969 after the 1969 special of It’s Fat Albert had aired. Even Bill Cosby did not like the end results!
The child voice actors were hand-picked off the streets. Of course the kids were unpaid interns and whatnot. Bill Cosby took them to get ice cream after every studio session. Also Bill Cosby did $44,000 a week gigs around the LA area during that time period. Tetregrammon was involved with distributing Bill Cosby’s comedy/spoken word albums also.
The Door has Three Native Americans. They have no dialogue.
