History
Hanna and Barbera originally worked (as a team) for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's animation department; their most famous creation for that studio was Tom and Jerry. When MGM closed their animation department, Hanna and Barbera decided to start their own animation studio, producing cartoons for television. Their first series was The Ruff and Reddy Show (1957-1960), a "serialized" cartoon similar to Crusader Rabbit; their second series, The Huckleberry Hound Show (1958-1962), became popular enough to make them a household name.
Hanna and Barbera had won seven Oscars at MGM where they made Tom & Jerry cartoons for seventeen years after which the studio closed its animation unit. Bill Hanna joined a consortium headed by Jay Ward and Alex Anderson and formed Shield Productions to launch a revival of Jay and Alex's Crusader Rabbit. It shut down a month later. Bill and Joe had met again and decided to form their own studio. At the very start of their studio, they managed to secure financing for their earliest projects from Screen Gems, the TV distribution arm of Columbia Pictures. After much negotiating, they sold Ruff and Reddy to NBC, but they could only get $2700 per half hour of cartoon (which were shown as features to live action host segments), meaning all the lavish detail afforded to Tom & Jerry had to be streamlined to the near bare bones. The series' appealing heroes and clever storylines compensated for the artistic liabilities. Ruff and Reddy was a modest success.
From the late 1950s to the early 1990s, Hanna-Barbera produced a huge volume of cartoons, mostly funny-animal fare, but also including adventure and mystery shows. Most of their cartoons featured limited animation, to facilitate rapid production; what the shows lacked in movement, they made up for in cleverness and/or humor (depending on the series). This limited animation has been termed "assembly line" production but has been critically derided as "illustrated radio." The studio did make two theatrical features in the 1960s, 1964's Hey, There...It's Yogi Bear! and 1966's The Man Called Flintstone.
The Huckleberry Hound Show was the studio's first major hit and it won them an Emmy (first of five). That show spawned Yogi Bear, the studio's first true superstar. Noticing that half the show's audience was adults, Hanna-Barbera considered doing a prime time cartoon for grown-ups. Seeing an artist's gag picture and taking a nod from Tex Avery's 1953 cartoon The First Bad Man, H-B produced a pilot for a show taking place in the stone age. It was called The Flagstones. There was a comic strip called Hi And Lois whose family name was The Flagstons already, so the name had to be changed. HB sold the show to ABC under its new name, The Flintstones. It wasn't a critical darling by any means, but by its own standards and given its six-year run (never cracking the Top 20), it was critic-proof. At first it paralleled Jackie Gleason's The Honeymooners so much that Gleason filed a plagiarism suit against Hanna-Barbera. The studio attempted to start up a series of theatrical animated short subjects, Loopy De Loop, in 1959. It lasted three years.
The studio focused on syndicated and prime time shows up until 1966 (at which point Columbia sold its interest in the studio to Taft Broadcasting), when the networks expanded their Saturday morning schedules. Hanna-Barbera became the go-to guys for Saturday morning, but due to the expanding schedules, the chew-'em-up-and-spit-'em-out atmosphere of TV and tight deadlines, many of their shows were plain anethema to critics, parents, the PTA and buffs of the Golden Age of Animation. Two prime time specials were made; Alice in Wonderland: Or, What's A Nice Kid Like You Doing In A Place Like This? aired on ABC in 1966. A year later, they won an Emmy for a live action/animated take on the story Jack & The Beanstalk which starred and was produced by actor Gene Kelly.
In 1969, the studio created their third most popular star, Scooby-Doo. With his show Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! a big hit, H-B (and other studios) began populating Saturday morning with mystery-busting kids and smart aleck pets throughout the 1970s. The studio produced an animated adaptation of Charlotte's Web for theaters in 1973. It was their best reviewed animated theatrical feature. They dabbled in live-action once in awhile, winning an Emmy for their 1977 TV movie drama The Gathering, and making a forgettable family comedy fantasy, 1979's C.H.O.M.P.S.
In 1976, Barbera was the executive producer of the 20th Century-Fox film Mother, Jugs & Speed, an R-rated dark comedy. When parents saw Barbera's name attached to the movie, they assumed it was something to which they could safely send their kids. It obviously was not, and parents innundated Hanna-Barbera with angry letters about the film. Barbera would maintain a low profile after this.
In the 1980s, the H-B studio was in some financial straits and at one time sought the Filmation studio as a buyer. Filmation was hurting as well and was bought out (and closed down in 1988) by the cosmetics company L'Oreal. H-B kept on going. In the 1980s, they brought Peyo's The Smurfs to TV. In 1982 they produced their fourth theatrical animated feature, Heidi's Song. They made three other animated features for theaters afterwards--1986's Gobots: Battle Of The Rock Lords, 1990's The Jetsons: The Movie and 1992's Once Upon A Forest (all three whose poor box office performances led to Hanna-Barbera filing for bankruptcy protection).
In 1991, Hanna-Barbera Productions was bought out by Turner Broadcasting (beating out a competing bid by MCA[1]), and its library of cartoons was eventually made part of Cartoon Network when that network launched in 1992. In 1996, Hanna-Barbera (as well as all Turner properties) were bought by Time Warner. The last H-B show made for Saturday morning was a TV version of the movie Dumb and Dumber. At that point with Warner Bros. now calling the shots to both Hollywood and Atlanta (Cartoon Network's broadcast home), the studio's focus was now on shows driven by their creators and screened on Cartoon Network. Genndy Tartakovsky's Dexter's Laboratory and Craig McCracken's The Powerpuff Girls were two of their biggest hits. In 2001, the studio shut down and was folded into Warner Bros. Animation, while Cartoon Network shows previously produced by H-B had their production taken over by the network's production division, Cartoon Network Studios. Bill Hanna died in 2001 followed by Joe Barbera's death in 2006. The H-B name lives on as Cartoon Network Europe is being rebranded as Hanna-Barbera Europe.
Most shows produced by Hanna-Barbera are now distributed on TV by Warner Bros. Television (WBTV), with a few exceptions:
- Sinbad Jr. (co-produced with American International Television) is owned and distributed by MGM Television
- Jeannie (which was produced in association with Screen Gems) and Partridge Family: 2200 A.D. are both distributed by Sony Pictures Television, with the copyrights held by SPT animation division Adelaide Productions, due to those shows' ties to their respective parent series, I Dream of Jeannie and The Partridge Family
- The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show, which had been distributed by King World, is now handled by King World's successor-in-interest CBS Media Ventures
- The Harlem Globetrotters, originally distributed by Viacom Enterprises, is now distributed by CBS Media Ventures (although WBTV owns the ancillary rights due to parent WarnerMedia's ownership of the Hanna-Barbera library). CBS originally owned the show's copyright
- The Godzilla segments of The Godzilla Power Hour are currently owned by NBCUniversal, with distribution via NBCU division DreamWorks Classics
- Fonz and the Happy Days Gang and Laverne and Shirley in the Army (both co-produced with Paramount Television) and Mork and Mindy: The Animated Series (co-produced with Paramount Television and Ruby-Spears Enterprises) are all now owned by successor company CBS Studios and distributed by CBS Media Ventures
- The Little Rascals segments of The Pac-Man/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show are currently owned by CBS and, as such, are distributed by CBS Media Ventures
- Pink Panther and Sons (co-produced with DePatie-Freleng Enterprises) is owned and distributed by MGM Television
- Rick Moranis in Gravedale High (co-produced with NBC Productions) is co-owned by WBTV and NBCUniversal
