Little Audrey, Baby Huey ("Duh, I think you're da Fox an' you're tryin' ta EAT me!" -- Baby Huey's doting Momma was voiced by Mae "Betty Boop" Questal), and Casper the Friendly Ghost were all old Famous Studios theatrical cartoons that had been sold to Harvey Publications, who syndicated them to lots of local TV stations. DreamWorks Animation has just bought all of them; the old theatrical shorts and the rights to the characters. There are rumors of a forthcoming DreamWorks CGI feature starring Li'l Hot Stuff, the juvenile scarlet demon (there was never a Li'l Hot Stuff animated cartoon before, but Harvey Publications published a very successful Li'l Hot Stuff comic book for many years), and that DreamWorks has licensed out all of the Harvey characters for haute-couture clothing. Look for stylish Casper the Friendly Ghost, Wendy the Good Little Witch, and Richie Rich, the Richest Boy in the World shirts, suits, dresses, and sleepingwear soon.
