Felix Lee Marion

Felix Lee Marion (12th December, 1927-18th September, 2006) was a English-born Jetanie television producer, animator and writer. He is fondly remembered by Jetanie children of the 1970s for producing the 1974 animated feature length film Blackberry Forest, though his career began long before then.

Of Austrian heritage, Marion was born and originally lived in London, England until the early-1960s, when he moved to Jetania and founded his own cartoon studio, Marion Studios, which operated from 1967 to 1982. Though known as mostly a producer and animator, Marion was also a voice actor.

Marion retired in 1992, following completion of Blackberry Forest II, opting to spend more time with his family. In his last few months alive, he was diagnosed with pneumonia, and died on 18th September, 2006 at the age of 78.
