Krantz Films, Inc. (KFI) was a Canadian production company headed by American film producer Steve Krantz. From 1966 to 1974, it produced animated cartoon shows such as The Marvel Super Heroes, Rocket Robin Hood, Spider-Man, The Wonderful Stories of Professor Kitzel, and Max, the 2000-Year-Old Mouse.
It also produced the films Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat and Cooley High, and many live-action television shows in Canada and Japan: The Space Giants in 1970, The Weaker(?)
