Can you name all the Hanna-Barbera characters without cheating?

Hanna-Barbera is the talk of many cartoons ever, even though they nearly got bought-out by Disney they decided to be part of Turner's Empire.

[edit] 1940's

William Hanna, an untalented artist, was working at MGM at the time when he met-up with someone who was untalented as well named Joseph Barbera. They were trying to find cartoons that were dead and they tripped upon Tom and Jerry who have been dead for a few years.

Tom and Jerry would help Hanna and Barbera make very good cartoons. They even rivaled Disney in taking many Oscars from Walt Disney himself when Jerry would star in the movie "Anchors Aweigh" (It also starred Frank Sinatra as well) in 1945 and that was one of the few years that Disney didn't even win an Oscar.

Hanna-Barbera would later try and weaken the Disney Empire, but when Disney made "Cinderella"...truly fucked.

[edit] 1950's

Hanna and Barbera would still make many Tom and Jerry cartoons by this decade, but now Looney Tunes would try and destroy the Hanna-Barbera Empire. They succeeded when they got on TV and that was when Disney got on TV too.

In 1957, MGM basically threw everyone that was working there out since no one would go to the movies. Hanna and Barbera were one of the few people that they threw out. So they merged (literally, Hanna and Barbera merged) to become Hanna-Barbera.

Their first TV Show that they made was Ruff and Reddy which featured a cat named Ruff and a dog named Reddy...and today we're still trying to figure this out. And while everyone was wondering who was Ruff and who was Reddy...Hanna-Barbera would hire Huckleberry Hound.

[edit] 1960's

Hanna-Barbera would become popular and actually beat Disney and WB during the 60's. Their method was to get people who tried-out for either Disney, Warner Brothers, or the creators of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show(or any other cartoon studio) and fail, then they would either make it or break it with Hanna-Barbera.

It wasn't until 1967 when Hanna-Barbera would make superheroes out of a few people such as Space Ghost and Birdman as well as others who didn't make it in the Justice Leauge or Marvel Heroes so they would be part of Hanna-Barbera's team.

It wouldn't be until Scooby Doo came to Hanna-Barbera who ate all their food and got high in their house that the Hanna-Barbera Empire would be in the top ratings.

[edit] 1970's

Hanna-Barbera basically owned SatAM TV that decade. Though Filmation, Ruby-Spears, and Rankin-Bass would follow suit, it was Hanna-Barbera that made Saturday.

In fact, Hanna-Barbera would bring back many of their older characters such as Wally Gator, Deep Throat, Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, and Top Cat to the limelight. They would try to get Loopy de Loop to get back on TV, but he was too heavy at the time so they didn't even bother!

However...they would make a franchise with The Flintstones and The Jetsons with a million spin-offs and movies such as The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones.

But in 1972, tragedy struck in the Summer Olympics when The Really Rottens (Which were actually Germans) killed most of the characters from Hanna-Barbera. The Summer Olympics that year made the Americans boycott the 1980 Olympics in Russia since they found out that the Russians were helping the Really Rottens kill the Hanna-Barbera Empire.

In 1973, Tom and Jerry would trade souls to those characters that died in 1973...just to swoop low with a cartoon about a flying ark.

The same year, Hanna-Barbera would make a cartoon movie called "Charlotte's Web" which wouldn't even be nominated for an Oscar and the Razzies weren't even around yet!

[edit] 1980's

Hanna-Barbera would make sure that their partnership would stay together forever, so Hanna's son and Barbera's daughter got married in 1988 and in 1992, they would have a granddaughter named Hanna Barbera who would later rename her surname to Montana in 2001 where she stayed until 2004.

Their big break that decade would be Smurfs and Snorks who would both have a fight called Smurf-Snork Wars which was around the mid-80's.

But the 80's ended on a sad note when Ted Turner would buy them out...but still they kept their jobs.

[edit] 1990's

At this time, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and The Flinstones all had children and they got their own TV Shows at this decade. None of them really worked, but this would make their parents happy (the children who were on the shows, that is).

In 1992, Hanna-Barbera would launch Cartoon Network since they had a butt-load of cartoons and also they shared the Turner Empire so they could destroy the Disney Empire.

New cartoon characters would come and try-out for Cartoon Network such as The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and Johnny Bravo just to name a few under the eyes of Hanna-Barbera who also had a new rival...Nickelodeon.

By the end of the 90's though, Hanna-Barbera seemed that they weren't needed, so Turner took the name Hanna-Barbera off the shows that were made in the 90's.

[edit] Today

By 2001, William Hanna died when he heard that his granddaughter renamed herself Hanna Montana. And in 2006, Joseph Barbera died when he heard his granddaughter's album for the first time.

Today, they are now forgotten since Cartoon Network has burned almost every Hanna-Barbera cartoon except for Scooby-Doo.
