About the artist: Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. also variously known as H-B Enterprises, H-B Production Co., and Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., was an American animation studio and production company founded in 1957 by Tom and Jerry creators and former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and remained active until 2001. The studio was a prominent presence in American television animation for over four decades. Hanna and Barbera dominated television with a wide variety of animated series, including The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Flintstones, The Yogi Bear Show, The Jetsons, Wacky Races, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and The Smurfs and won eight Emmy Awards and in 1976, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their achievements in animation. Taft Broadcasting bought the studio in 1966 and retained ownership of it until 1987. By the 1980s, as the profitability of Saturday-morning cartoons was eclipsed by weekday afternoon syndication, Hanna-Barbera's fortunes had declined. In 1991, Turner Broadcasting System purchased it from Taft (which had been renamed Great American Broadcasting in 1988) and used much of its back catalog as programming for Cartoon Network. Hanna and Barbera continued to serve as creative consultants and mentors. Hanna-Barbera became a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Animation after Turner's merger with Time Warner in 1996, before being absorbed into that studio and former division Cartoon Network Studios after Hanna's death in 2001; Barbera died in 2006. Since its closure, the studio has continued to operate as a name-only company and remains the copyright holder for its catalog, with Warner Bros. handling production of new animation.
