Top 10 Hanna Barbera Cartoons

You would be a welcome addition to the Super Friends. That is, if you’re willing to join us. Welcome to watch Mojo. And today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Hanna Barbera cartoons. I never know what’s going to come out. For this list, we’ve looked at all cartoons created or produced under the Hanna Barbera banner. Hey, where are they going? I don’t know, but let’s follow them #10 Super Friends, Was there a better way to kick start your weekend? And is there a better way to kick start this countdown than with this? Hanna Barbera can be heralded with many a superlative, but the word super is more than suitable for this Saturday morning beauty. In the Great Hall of the Justice League, there are assembled the world’s four greatest heroes, created from the cosmic legends of the universe. the Super Friends were DC Comics Justice League translated into a family friendly cartoon. We’ve got to stop them. We’ve got to find them to stop them. As the show’s production company, Hanna Barbera had a little pressure heaped on their shoulders with this one. But they, like their characters, performed heroically for more than 100 episodes. Time for lunch, kids #9 Jonny Quest. Well, you can scratch at least three off that list. Say nine. That makes the odds about right, Sir. This is animation and adventure at its absolute finest. Jonny Quest ran for one season during AB CS Friday Night prime time period in 196465. A short but definitely sweet series, it told the story of the titular Johnny and his extraordinary travels with his scientist father, guardian slash bodyguard Race Bannon, and best friend Haji. What’s wrong with him? Featuring a more realistic approach to its artwork, the series proved A trendsetter for Hanna Barbera. Quest’s enthusiastic reviews encouraged the company to delve further into the action adventure genre in the future, and we’re sure glad it did. And now to sleep, my little robot friend #8 The Huckleberry Hound Show and the bravest night the world around was 1 Sir Huckleberry Hound A breakthrough cartoon, The Huckleberry Hound Show gave us all manner of characters and garnered all manner of critical acclaim. Young paradigm, have no fail. Sir Huckleberry Hound is for you. The first animated program to win an Emmy. The popularity of its laid back drawing star and his laugh inducing pals helped pave the way for original animation on TV. Well, I mean that’s the usual pattern with each program split into 3 sections. Huckleberry was joined by Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinx and more famously by Yogi Bear. That’s kind of a gag saying we got in the trade. His was a killer clan of cartoon characters. Wait till I get my hands on you. I’ll tell you two pieces #7 Wacky Races and now here they are, the most daredevil group of daggy drivers to ever whirl their wheels in the Wacky Races. From one legendary character to another. The greedy and conniving Dick Dastardly was an original animated anti hero and his snickering dog Muttley the perfect sidekick to such a character. You left out despicable. Now I’m going to derail those Vacu races directly ahead. Even though we all knew we shouldn’t want Dastardly to win the race, there was something about the mustachioed madman that had us rooting for his rocket car. Thinking along last. Is that Mean Machine with those double dealing do batters sticked Dastardly and his sidekick buckling. The Mean Machine was but one of many fine feats of engineering. However, the Gruesome Twosome had the creepy coupe. Merching along is the creepy coupe with the Gruesome twosome. Peter Perfect had the Turbo Terrific First is the Turbo Terrific, driven by Peter Perfect. And Penelope pit stop had the compact Pussycat. All in all, it was animated alliterated accelerated awesomeness. Oh, and here’s the lovely Penelope Pit Stop. The glamour gal of the gas pedal #6 The Smurfs. Make a wish and give out the candles. Whoever said blue was the loneliest color was wrong. The Smurfs have proven an all conquering success since their original creation by Belgian comic artist Pao in 1958, but Hanna Barbera’s special Magic moved that success to a new level. The Daytime Emmy Award-winning cartoon series that began in 81 is one of the longest running Saturday morning cartoons ever and one of the company’s most well loved of all time too. Smurfs. I have some shocking news. Today’s accident on the bridge was no accident. Papa Smurf is joined by all manner of other adjective Smurfs as brainy, grouchy, clumsy, greedy, scaredy, sloppy. Smurfette and company paint the town, the village. Our TV screens the entire world blue. Ah, ode to a brain club #5 the Jetsons. Me George Jetsons. The family unit can make a seriously good subject for cartooning, especially when that family is a little out of the ordinary. The words go, and the Jetsons are certainly that, living in the year 2062, a full century after the show’s first airing. They go to school and go to work in Orbit City. Why? That’s impossible. George and Jane Jetson are parents to Judy and Elroy. Astro is their talking dog, and Rosie is their housekeeping robot. What’s that doing here? Rosie is our new robot maid. George. Good evening, Sir. It’s a world of commercialized spaceships and super high rise apartment blocks. It’s the future and it’s really fun. Not tonight, Hellroy, it’s time to blast off for Dreamland. Well, OK, if Rosie tucks me in and tells me about the cow that they gravitated over the moon #4 the Yogi Bear show. Look who’s coming, Boo. It’s a messenger from the Telegraph office, having started life on the Huckleberry Hound show. Yogi proved too big for a bit part with his white collar and tie. This bear dressed to deliver his self promoting catch phrase became a pop culture touchdown. I’m smarter than the average bear, Boo Boo. Smarter than the average bear he may be, but his specialty was getting into funny fixes. Well, this hollow log is going to shoot a bear through the air. With his trusty pal Boo Boo, Yogi lived for lunch and pinching picnic baskets was his hobby. The picnic baskets are at my mercy. Let’s raise the picnic table. He was once accused of pinching a name, too, but in the end, Hanna Barbera smoothed things over with MLB star Yogi Berra. Another happy ending for Jellystone’s jolliest occupant. There’s one thing you got to admit about Yogi. He’s smarter than the average Ranger #3 Tom and Jerry. It feels as though the cartoon cat and mouse act is as old as time, but Tom and Jerry were the trendsetters. A series of animated shorts produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for MGM. This franchise was originally designed to rival Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies, and this pair definitely proved there was more to cartoon merriment than Mickey Mouse. The basic formula is almost never in doubt, but that’s why we love it. Jerry teases, TomTom takes the bait. Jerry teases some more. Tom loses again. It’s a simple equation, but a downright effective one that resulted in seven Oscars #2 scooby-doo Where Are You, How do you look? I don’t see any difference. The first of many variations of the Mystery Inc franchise, scooby-doo, Where Are You was a success from the start. Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy are joined by the greatest of Great Danes in the show’s title character. Hey, that’s a good trick, how’d you do it? A reaction to the more violent superhero cartoons of the same period. The fivesom was famous for their crime solving skills, their psychedelic wheels, and for their unrivaled ability to meddle. Very funny, but don’t take it off, you look better with it on. Countless villains would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for them, but this was another tried, tested and triumphant formula. Like a good Scooby snack, it just satisfied. I got to admit, that’s stomach. Before we unveil our top pick, hurry up, we haven’t much time. Here are some honorable mentions. Hand over that gal. Sunstroke Slim. Why don’t you pick on somebody your own size? Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

Rocking their way to the top of our podium, The Flintstones make history hysterical. We’re not going bowling because you had to buy tickets for the opera. The Stone Age is made contemporary in this landmark series that is often thought of as a kind of precursor to our fifth placer, The Jetsons. Step aside Pagliacci whilst the captain warms up. The family unit is once again vital as Fred, Wilma and Pebbles Flintstone plot their way through life alongside Barney, Betty and Bam Bam Rubble. The prehistoric puns are relentless, the characters are Hanna Barbera’s most memorable, and the program is appropriately timeless. I see it, but I don’t believe it. This show not only landed in the top 20 of primetime shows its first season, it even became the first cartoon series to be nominated for a Best Comedy Series Emmy. Our gold medal will cause quite a stir in bedrock. A few more of these good deeds and maybe they’ll let me go back. Did you enjoy this video?
