Following MGM’s decision to cease production of new cartoons, the dynamic duo decided to strike out on their own. Their animation studio was founded July 7, 1957.
The collaboration would lead to dozens of news shows and characters over the next 40+ years.
In addition to first-run television shows, many of the cartoons found new life in syndication, introducing them to new generations.
The studio was eventually acquired by Turner Broadcasting. The newly launched Cartoon Network provided a new wave of fanswith exposure to the classic characters. After Turner merged with Time Warner in 1996, Hanna-Barbera became a subsidiary of Warner Animation. For a time, Cartoon Network Studios acted as a subsidiary until Warner Bros. folded Hanna-Barbera into the larger entityearly in the new millennium.
While many prior cartoons were recycled from movie shorts, Hanna-Barbera was one of the first studios to produce content directly for television. Step back in time to look at some of the many characters Hanna and Barbera or their company helped bring to life.
