A little bit more Hanna- Barbera today!
Hanna-Barbera was an American animation, film, and television production studio founded in 1957 by Tom and Jerry creators and former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
For three decades in the 20th century, it was a prominent presence in American television animation with The Flintstones, The Yogi Bear Show, Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs....many of which you will know.
The Flintstones is one of the most influential animated series of all time, and one of the best sitcoms too. First released in 1960, this prehistoric animated series followed the lives of Fred and Wilma Flintstone, and their best friends and neighbours Barney and Betty Rubble.
