'''Hanna-Barbera''' was a prolific animation studio which, between 1957 and 2001, produced scores of animated television series and specials, as well as a few forays into theatrical films. The company took its name from [[William Hanna]] and [[Joseph Barbera]], who first teamed as co-directors of the Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts for [[MGM]]. When MGM closed its doors, Hanna and Barbera struck out on their own, producing limited animation television product which came to dominate network Saturday morning slots for decades. Their earliest series was ''Ruff and Reddy'', followed by ''Huckleberry Hound'', ''Yogi Bear'', ''[[The Flintstones]]'', ''[[The Jetsons]]'' and ''[[Scooby-Doo]]'', amongst others. One of their more notable successes in the 1980s came from licensing a group of popular Belgian comic characters for a long-running animated series, ''[[The Smurfs]]''.

Hanna-Barbera was a prolific animation studio which, between 1957 and 2001, produced scores of animated television series and specials, as well as a few forays into theatrical films. The company took its name from William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, who first teamed as co-directors of the Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts for MGM. When MGM closed its doors, Hanna and Barbera struck out on their own, producing limited animation television product which came to dominate network Saturday morning slots for decades. Their earliest series was Ruff and Reddy, followed by Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons and Scooby-Doo, amongst others.
