In contrast to the international film market (developed during the silent era when language problems were limited to title cards), TV-pioneering in most countries (often connected to radio broadcasting) focused on domestic production of live programs. Rather than importing animated series that usually would have to be dubbed, children's programming could more easily and more cheaply be produced in other ways (for instance, featuring puppetry). One notable method was the real-time "animation" of cutout figures in "Captain Pugwash" (1957) on the BBC. One of the few early animated series for TV that was seen abroad was Belvision Studios' "Les Aventures de Tintin, d'après Hergé (Hergé's Adventures of Tintin)" (Belgium 1957-1964, directed by Ray Goossens), broadcast by the BBC in 1962 and syndicated in the United States from 1963 to 1971. Warner Bros. introduced new characters Sylvester Jr. (1950), Speedy Gonzales (1953), Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog (1953), and Tasmanian Devil (1954). After a string of package features and live-action/animation combos, Disney returned to fully animated feature films with "Cinderella" in 1950 (the first since "Bambi"). Its success practically saved the company from bankruptcy. It was followed by "Alice in Wonderland" (1951), which flopped at the box office and was critically panned. "Peter Pan" (1953) and "Lady and the Tramp" (1955) were hits. The ambitious, much delayed and more expensive "Sleeping Beauty" (1959) lost money at the box office and caused doubts about the future of Walt Disney's animation department. Like "Alice in Wonderland" and most of Disney's flops, it would later be commercially successful through re-releases and would eventually be regarded as a true classic. Total Television was founded in 1959 to promote General Mills products with original cartoon characters in Cocoa Puffs commercials (1960-1969) and the General Mills-sponsored TV series "King Leonardo and His Short Subjects" (1960-1963, repackaged shows until 1969), "Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales" (1963-1966, repackaged shows until 1972), "The Underdog Show" (1964-1967, repackaged shows until 1973) and "The Beagles" (1966-1967). Animation for all series was produced at Gamma Studios in Mexico.
