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,[1][2] 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(?) Sex in 1968[3] and many more.[2] During production of the latter, the company was sold to cable system operator Vikoa, which later wound down the operation.[4]
