'''Cambria Productions''' was the [[West Hollywood, California]] animation production studio most famous for its wide usage of the [[Syncro-Vox]] technique of animation developed by [[Edwin Gillette]], who was a co-partner in the studio.

Owned by [[Clark Haas|Clark S. Haas, Jr.]] from 1957 until 1965, the studio produced ''[[Clutch Cargo]]'' (1959-1960), ''[[Space Angel]]'' (1962), ''[[Captain Fathom]]'' (1965), and ''[[The New 3 Stooges]]'' (1965-1966). Test film for another series, ''[[Doc Potts]]'' or ''Doc Potts and Weselly'', was prepared in 1960, though the series was apparently never produced. Two sample episodes of a proposed [[Moon Mullins]] series were produced along with a sales film to promote it to local television stations but it didn't clear enough markets to go into production.

Despite operating on a shoestring budget, the studio was able to produce series which are fondly remembered for their imaginative and entertaining storylines, and for their inventive ways of compensating for budgetary limitations.

Among the artists and entertainers who found employment at Cambria Studios were musician/composer [[Paul Horn (jazz musician)|Paul Horn]], [[Margaret Kerry]], [[Hal Smith (actor)|Hal Smith]], [[Alex Toth]], [[Warren Tufts]] and [[Doug Wildey]].
