Hanna Barbara Cartoons. DIE DIE DIE!

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

As a continuation on the anti-Mickey Mouse thread (which I agree with, by the way.) I'd like to nominate for immediate extinction all the cartoons made by Hanna Barbara (with the possible exception of Johnny Quest*)
Reasons:

Characters that are blatant knockoffs of old TV shows. Whats worse, they end up losing all the charm and nuance of the originals. If they can't make an interesting knock-off of a hamfist like Rodney Dangerfield...what made them think they could successfully clone the subtleties of Jackie Gleason or Art Carney in their prime? Dialogue so inane it's not even funny to a 3 year old. Even old episodes of Superfriends are less groan-inducingly lame than The Flintstones. They are all so leadenly paced. They are half the intensity of a Disney cartoon...which is half the intensity of a Warner Brothers cartoon...which is half the intensity of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. My personal preference is a pace like Tom and Jerry Cartoons -- ie. Constant crazed crack-fiend speed slapstick -- but I can tolerate Warner Brothers because they are witty and inventive. In stark contrast to Hanna Barbara...which is like watching paint dry. Irritating sound effects that seem to have nothing to do with the source of the sound. Why does walk on tiptoes sound like a speedfreak playing the high notes on a xylophone? Why do they use the plucking of high strings to make the "shake head violently to clear mind" sound? These just set my teeth on edge.
Their penchant for being turned into egregiously wretched feature films. The mere existence of "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas" more than justifies the immediate annihilation of the Hanna Barbara cartoon archives.

Grrrrr.

* Note = I'm told that Johnny Quest is a Hanna Barbara 'toon. I can't bring myself to believe it. It doesn't stink enough to be a Hanna Barbara.

As it stands...
Any Hanna Barbara Characters >>>>> Mickey Mouse >> Donald Duck >> Daffy Duck (in current moronic asshole mode) >> Goofy >> Most Warner Brothers Characters >> Tom and Jerry >> Droopy* >> Yosemite Sam

* Note = No-one seems to remember Droopy! or the bulldog with irish accent or southern wolf who tormented Droopy. This is a crime against humanity.

regarding Dexters Laboratory...I consider that to be a Genndy Tartakofsky (sp?) 'toon. Hanna Barbara merely showed the good taste (for once) to distribute something of this calibre.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Sunday, 7 March 2004 01:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, slocki. I did.

Dude, save your hatorade for the depressing mediocrity that was Filmation. Honestly, even Fat Albert doesn't look so hot nowadays.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 7 March 2004 01:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah! Well...
Filmation had alot of the same problems as Hanna Barbara...but I suspect that the Filmation people erroneously desired to become Hanna Barbara. Which would be akin to P-Diddy wanting to become Vanilla Ice.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Sunday, 7 March 2004 01:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Meanwhile, in offtopicland, OHMYGOD OHMYGOD in 1984 there was a kid's show starring RICHARD PRYOR and it was produced by Sid and Marty Krofft!!! How could I have missed this?

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Sunday, 7 March 2004 01:34 (twenty-one years ago)

While I agree about the abysmal quality of their TV animations, you do realise that Hanna and Barbera were the guys that made all the Tom & Jerry cartoons up to '58. Forget Fred Quimby, whose name was always writ so large on the credits - apparently he knew nothing about animation and didn't even have much of a sense of humour, so it was all down to H-B.

― chris j (chris j), Sunday, 7 March 2004 01:47 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, "Tom & Jerry" was great, and the current slew of Cartoon Network era Hanna Barbera is grebt. Everything else is pretty fucking abysmal - and how about those feature lenght thingies, eh? The Flinstones meet The Jetsons! Huckelberry Hound's Cowboy Adventure! Kill me now.

Taken from Tom and Jerry Online:

In 1957, MGM, without warning to the crew, closed down their Cartoon Division, putting Tom & Jerryin cartoon limbo, and Hanna, Barbera and staff without a job. They oversaw the finishing touches on the cartoons that had been in mid-production when the blow came, and one imagines them sleepwalking through the studio like people in shock.
"We didn’t have anything to do," recalls Bill Hanna. "We saw the rest of our cartoons through, but we knew they weren’t going to pick them up."
At that time, cartoon production at other studios were limited and no one was doing any hiring. At the eleventh hour, when their contract was at an end, Joe and Bill conceived of selling a new cartoon series to television. They created Ruff and Ready, selling it to Screen Gems, a division of Columbia Pictures. There, with a limited budget ($3,000 for a 5 minute cartoon, instead of the $45,000-65,000 from MGM) they had to use every gimmick and shtick they new about the business to make the characters move around. Thus, Limited animation was born. Limited animation meant "You can hold the body (meaning that the body remains static) and put the arms on separate levels (separate cells), the mouth, the eyes, everything. You can blink the eyes and not move anything else. If the body held and you reach out for something, only the arms move."

Whereas now they can afford full animation, thanks to that philanthropic global economic system that also brings us cheap sportswear.

None of you chumps could hold Huckleberry's jock - fact.

That's because he didn't have one -- he went around in nothing but a hat and bowtie, the perv.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 7 March 2004 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, and re: Huckelberry Hound's Cowboy Adventure...anyone seen that 'un? Features a Daltons-type gang with a very explicitly gay character...

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Sunday, 7 March 2004 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I really liked Ruff and Ready when I was a kid. It was one of few cartoons where the story ran from episode to episode.

Custos, yr head is up yr ass on this one, look around and examine a colon that has never fully digested the wonder that was Jinx the Cat on "Pixie and Dixie." His dialogue was so surreal, so burned-out-hipster (sounds like Eugene Levy's character in A Mighty Wind, really), and so purely malevolent that he belongs in anyone's all-time top three. You're basically just hating the lack of bling in H-B, and that ain't cool, they were gallant indie fuXXors and they had Top Cat and they had the Laff-a-Lympics with Paul Lynde on the mic and they had Grape to the motherfuckin' Ape and I can't believe I'm even discussing this with you.

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Sunday, 7 March 2004 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Hell, the Pixie and Dixie where Mr. Jinx died and met God was so bent compared to most of the other cartoons of the time, that H-B get a pass just for that, too.

Uh, no.

...look around and examine a colon...
Sorry. Not allowed. Haven't gotten my doctorate in proctology yet.

...that has never fully digested the wonder that was Jinx the Cat on "Pixie and Dixie."
Pixie and Dixie? This doesn't ring any bells.

His dialogue was so surreal, so burned-out-hipster (sounds like Eugene Levy's character in A Mighty Wind, really), and so purely malevolent that he belongs in anyone's all-time top three.
I'll take your word for it.

You're basically just hating the lack of bling in H-B, and that ain't cool...
I wasn't bothered by the 'low production value' or the stiff animation (though these seem to irritate everyone else) I'm mostly aggravated by

lame characters. Bad, unfunny dialogue. Pacing like the Bataan Death March. Awful, counter-intuitive, annoying sound effects.
Rotten movie tie-ins.

as my first post said. The stiff, samey animation just added to painfulness.

...they were gallant indie fuXXors...
No. Hanna-Barbara:Gallant-Indie-Fuxxors :: Knack-Cover-Band:'77-Punk.

...and they had Top Cat...
Okay, Score one for the defense. I'll admit that Top Cat was much better than the abysmal average. I think it has alot to do with me not knowing what 50s/60s TV show they were ripping off for character concepts. (Anyone have any ideas?)

...and they had the Laff-a-Lympics...
and score one for the prosecution...

...with Paul Lynde...
two for the prosection...

...Grape to the motherfuckin' Ape...
three for the prosecution...

...and I can't believe I'm even discussing this with you.
Because this issue is more important than the hole in the ozone layer!

― zappi (joni), Sunday, 7 March 2004 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

B2D speaks for a generation.

Comparing the pacing in H-B cartoons to Disney or Warner Brothers cartoons is silly; the latter are shorts, aired without commercial breaks, and the H-B cartoons tend to the 15 minute or 30 minute slots, made for TV.

I'm assuming Custos is young enough to have gotten the Hanna-Barbera stuff "all in a lump," so to speak, because I'm not sure what to make of this otherwise:

If they can't make an interesting knock-off of a hamfist like Rodney Dangerfield...what made them think they could successfully clone the subtleties of Jackie Gleason or Art Carney in their prime?

Did I miss a cartoon based on a really young Rodney Dangerfield, or are you actually asking why a 1960s hit wasn't informed by a 1990s failure?

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 7 March 2004 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

There was a caroon movie voiced by rodney dangerfield calaled rover dangerfield

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 7 March 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Right, but that was a looong time after the Flintstones. I'm pretty sure no one at H-B said, "Well, we fucked up Rover Dangerfield, but even so, I'm sure our Honeymooners clone will do just fine if we travel back in time three decades" :)

(Custos seems to be asking why George Lucas thought a trilogy about Anakin's kids would be good when Annie was so annoying in The Phantom Menace.)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 7 March 2004 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

The problem I ahve with HB is the scattergun nature. So many cartoons some of them had to be good, but most pretty awful.

Yeah. Later on there was "Gilligan's Planet" and a cartoon based on "Happy Days" where Fonz travelled through time with a bungling magician named Cookie.
Or somesuch.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 03:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, Jabberjaw -- still, that's a decade later than the Flintstones.

It amazes me a little to find out, via Google, that Gilligan's Planet was Filmation, not Hanna Barbera. It kinda seems up the latter's alley.

First of all Dexter's Lab is highly iconic (in my house) so I don't see your point second; you're wrong. Hanna Barbara is good stuff, not always and I'm one of those that hated Top Cat but otherwise, pretty classic.

"Grape Ape" - An ape that used to go round saying "Grape Ape" all the time. Apart from when he had had some grapes, at which point he'd get super strength.

We never got the Jetsons or Jonny/Johnny Quest in the UK.

There were an abnormal number of second string HB productions as well; Touche Turtle, Wally Gator, Magilla Gorilla, Pixie & Dixie and other stalwarts of the Glen Michael Cavalcade and Ali Bongo's Cartoon Carnival circuit.

― Dingbod Kesterson, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 09:59 (seventeen years ago)
