Produced by Motown Records and featuring hits from the Jackson 5 era, The Jackson 5ive cartoon was iconically animated by Bob Blaser, who a few years prior had directed the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine film. While the cartoon was short lived and did not feature the actual voices of Tito, Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon or Michael, it did feature a colorful world of bell bottoms, classic Jackson tracks, and one quirky cameo from Diana Ross.
