Description: Here's an early promo for WFLD Channel 32's Super Cartoon Sunrise.

Featured cartoon series shown in this "Coming This Fall" promo are Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry, Popeye (the 1933-57 theatrical cartoons), and Fred Flintstone & Friends (a syndicated package of 1970s episodes, not to be confused with the original Flintstones series which was still being run by WGN Channel 9 at this point).

We see, from a brief shot at the start, that this was directed by veteran WFLD director Don Shannon on 8-10-78. Despite the tiny Kaiser-era "32" logo that can be seen on the production slate, this promo was one of the first to feature the newer Field-era "32" logo with the typesetting in Eremitage.

Voiceover by Dr. Don.

This aired on local Chicago TV in August of 1978.
