This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., often abbreviated H-B or HB, was an American animation studio and production company. It was founded on July 7, 1957 by former MGM Cartoons staff and Tom and Jerry creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera as H-B Enterprises, Inc. During its more than four decades of existence, the studio produced countless cartoon TV series including, most famously, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Wacky Races, and The Smurfs. The studio was characterized by its use of limited animation techniques popularized by UPA to quickly produce cartoons on tight budgets and schedules, allowing it to generate a tremendous output of Saturday morning cartoons. Hanna-Barbera would collaborate with UPA subsidiary Benedict Pictures Corporation and Toho to produce an animated TV series based on the latter's Godzilla film franchise, simply titled Godzilla, from 1978 to 1979. Turner Broadcasting System acquired Hanna-Barbera in 1991, and under its ownership Hanna-Barbera founded Cartoon Network Studios in 1994. Turner itself was later acquired by Warner Bros. in 1996, resulting in H-B's studio being relocated next to Warner Bros. Animation in 1998 so that the two could work alongside each other. Hanna-Barbera finally closed down in 2001 following co-founder Hanna's death, with all of its assets and existing library being absorbed by Warner Bros. Warner Bros. Animation continues to produce media based on H-B's properties, while Cartoon Network Studios fulfills its former role as the production arm of Cartoon Network. The studio's name is retained by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, formerly Cartoon Network Studios Europe, as of 2021. |
