Funhouse Video

The label seen on several titles on VHS.

Funhouse Video was a British distributor produced by Philip L'Oro International Pictures in late 1990. The company had published a lot of public domain VHS tapes of cartoons. The VHS tapes are notorious for featuring a badly drawn version of the winking wolf (taken off from the "Sheep Shape" cartoon) on the title cards as well as the opening and ending.

These releases however, were repackaged under the Children's Video Network label for releases in the UK and Australia.
