With colour TV just around the corner, Eric Porter's animation studio began production on the children’s series Yellow House (1974), which jumped with both feet into the bright possibilities of the new medium. The show was a mix of cartoon animation, puppet shows and live action, and featured a children's band, the Koalas. In the opening sequence, the set is a psychedelic explosion in shades of daffodil, with the Koalas and their clown pal getting up to all kinds of circus antics, and bright explosions of balloons, streamers and confetti.
Now kids could watch cartoons with kaleidescope eyes.
Eric Porter Productions was also responsible for some of the most well known characters in TV advertising including Mr Sheen, Bertie the Aeroplane and Louie the Fly as well creating Australia's first animated feature, Marco Polo Jnr versus the Red Dragon (1972),
