Hailed as one of the father's of Saturday morning television, Lou Scheimer was the co-founder of Filmation Studios, which for over 25 years provided animated excitement for TV and film. Always at the forefront, Scheimer's company created the first DC cartoons with Superman, Batman, and Aquaman, and ruled the song charts with The Archies.

Is it worth the read? Yes - slowly. What's interesting is that if you read it from cover to cover, as I did, the details of the various deals and sales and participants blur together. However, you really build up a picture of Scheimer's outlook on the world: on business, on salesmanship, on animation, on people. It's not the perspective of a brooding genius, an egotistical maniac, or any of the other stereotypes we've been trained to expect from people who are successful in the media. Scheimer seems to have been a guy who liked people, who wanted to work with good people to make a good product, and who was well-liked in return. That's...kind of cool, actually? His story may not be riveting page by page, but it's hard not to be impressed by the way he chose to live his life, and there are plenty of fun anecdotes along the way.
I started the book looking for some specific information about a couple of projects. I finished with a lot of respect for Lou Scheimer and significantly more interest in his body of work. It's easy to criticize the limitations of Filmation and its animation, but like most internet criticism, it's often made without understanding context. Now that I know more about Filmation and Scheimer's strategies to keep his animation made in the United States, all I have now is admiration. Well, that and a surprising new affinity for He-Man (which was forbidden in my house when I was little! ;) ). ( )
