Sejarah

Bekas gedung pusat Hanna-Barbera di Studio City, California

Perusahaan ini didirikan oleh MGM pada tahun 1944. Seteleh MGM menutup studio animasi tahun 1957, Hanna dan Barbera mulai bekerja dalam H-B Enterprises. Keputusan dibuat untuk berspesialisasi di televisi animasi. Dalam rangka untuk mendapatkan modal kerja mereka untuk menghasilkan kartun, HB telah bekerjasama dengan Screen Gems, unit dari Columbia Pictures. Serial TV H-B yang pertama adalah The Ruff & Reddy Show.

Pada tahun 1958, H-B memperoleh sukses besar dari serial The Huckleberry Hound Show yang melibatkan Huckleberry Hound dan Yogi Bear. Serial ini pernah mendapatkan penghargaan Emmy Awards.

Perusahaan ini juga pernah memproduksi serial pendek Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! dan The Man Called Flintstone. Pada tahun 1967, perusahaan ini dibeli oleh Taft Broadcasting.

Selain itu, perusahaan ini berperan aktif dalam pembuatan film The All-New Popeye Hour bersama King Features Syndicate. Pada tahun 1987, Taft Broadcasting berganti nama dengan nama baru, "Great American Broadcasting". Perusahaan ini juga pernah bekerjasama dengan Ruby-Spears.
