Between 1991 and 1994, the company produced thirteen (13) x 50 minute animated telefeatures known as the Burbank Classics ACT I, (previously called the International Family Classics II) the titles of which are as follows: FRANK ENSTEIN, THE PIED PIPER OF HAMLIN, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WILLIAM TELL, SINBAD, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, THUMBELINA, ALI BABA, PUSS IN BOOTS, WHITE FANG, THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES, GOLDILOCKS & THE THREE BEARS and HANS AND THE SILVER SKATES. These 13 telefeatures have been distributed worldwide for TV and Video.

In 1995, Burbank was commissioned by Anchor Bay Entertainment, Inc. of Troy, Michigan to produce six (6) x 50 minute telefeatures. These were produced in 1995/96 and are known as THE LIBRARY OF ANIMATED VIDEO TREASURES, the titles being: POCAHONTAS, HERCULES, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, HANSEL AND GRETEL, CINDERELLA and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

During 1997/98, a further six (6) animated telefeatures were produced for Anchor Bay Entertainment. Their titles are: CAMELOT, ANASTASIA, MU LAN, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, THE LITTLE MERMAID and PRINCE OF THE NILE-THE STORY OF MOSES.

Also in Burbank's Library is a collection of all Burbank's Animated Family Favourites under the title THE WIZARD'S TALES. This collection of 60 half hours is introduced by a live-action Wizard and is told in two television half-hours. At the beginning of the second part, there's a short re-cap of the previous episode, proven very suitable for television distribution around the world.

From 1999 to 2001, Burbank produced ANNA AND THE KING, SILENT NIGHT, JOSEPH AND THE COAT OF MANY COLORS, EASTER IN BUNNYLAND, D4 - THE TROJAN DOG and THE CANTERVILLE GHOST. These six films form Burbank's ANIMATED CLASSIC GOLD 6 x 50 minute series.

Further to these, Burbank made the Christmas Special, THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, and the fantasy adventure film JUNGLE GIRL & THE LOST ISLAND OF THE DINOSUARS.
