The History of Hanna-Barbera 3/5 - Animation Lookback 

In the 80's-90's you begin to see Hanna-Barbera's mistakes

2:55, Most People would often refer to Josie & The Pussycats, JabberJaw, Speed-Buggy, Captain Caveman & The Teen Angels, The Funky Phantom, Goober & The Ghost Chasers and many more as "Scooby-Doo Clones" rather than calling them "Scooby-Doo Rip-Offs".

I would love to see a violent mature cartoon of The Super Friends with fairytales and book themes. Like heck, imagine Batman kicking Willy Wonka in the face.

Boy you certainly introduced Scrappy with a lot of pride in your voice.

Don Messick retired in 1996 due to an stroke. He died the following year.

4:40 everybody, except for Phantom Strider.

Okay, this part of the look-back is AWESOME!!! Can't wait for you to talk about Cartoon Network!!

*A Pup Named Scooby-Doo first aired in 1988.

Bit of a coincidence that Hanna Barbera made all those DC shows when they both would eventually be owned by Warner Bros.

A pup named scooby do was 88 not 98

9:58 - 10:05: Wait until AniMat sees "the Smurfs and the Lost Village".

And Casey Kasem returned for the "What's New Scooby Doo" show of the 21st century, with a final cast reunion in the 2005ish movie Scooby Doo and the Monster of Mexico (or something like that), which REALLY begs the question of WHY the original cast said no to the movies & 2002 TV series & why the 2002 TV cast was snubbed for the Mexico movie. Unfortunately, Kasem has since lost his Shaggy and the role went through 5 guys before being passed down to Matthew Lilliard from the live action movies.

For me, "Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island" saved the characters' popularity. It still had the humor of the original show, but was 20000x scarier (the first HB show/film/special to show a decapitation, in more detail, Fred accidentally mistaking a mask for a zombie's real head and ripping it off, pretty fucking gruesome).

I hate parent groups

You haven’t mentioned about the fantasy-themed, pirate show, “The Pirates of Dark Water.” It was created by David Kurshner and it was produced at Hanna-Barbara.

Love this!! I agree that Scooby Doo sort of went down when Scrappy was introduced.

I remember that movie. When it came out on Cartoon Network I wasn't going to be able to watch it. So I begged my grandparents FOR DAYS to record it for me. Then I watched it the very next day and had nightmares for years after that. I was terrified of graveyards and anything creepy. But I continued to watch the Scoobie-Doo shows and movies. Eventually I got over that fear. And now I collect Scoobie-Doo merchandise.

Boy the DC superheroes shows that Hanna-Barbera did look... Interesting.

I am GLAD he didn't bring up the snorks, it's just the smurfs underwater, no point in discussing it

This was a good series. Funny that it's 10 years old now, and a lot of the things you mentioned already happened

yeah the first 4 scooby animated films were very dark for its type of audience thats what i liked most about those films and i also like scooby doo mystery incorporated because it had its own story arc usually the case raps up at the end but with sdmi each episode leads into discovering a bigger clue to find out the mystery about crystal cove plus it brought the dark tone back

Awesome work on this. Keep up the good work.

thank you for this little glimpse in to our childhood you have just earned a subscriber

Omg, your description of Scooby-Doo may be ridiculously true, but it's what made the show awesome! :D Scooby will always be one of my favorite Hanna-Barbera characters of all time

7:41 When you look at the similarities you wonder if the idea for the Ice King is right here.

A Pup Named Scooby Doo didn't come out in 1998.... lol

"And 2 random teenagers with their dog" When you said that, that was funny.

01:01 Scooby overdrive!!!!

I love Scooby Doo thank you for posting.

There's going to be a third Smurf movie? That won't end well.

I’m upset you never mentioned the artist responsible for most of the art style of Hanna-Barbera, as well as Scooby-Doo, creator Iwao Takamoto.

your super friends narrator impression was so on point, i thought for a second that he actually said “and a few random teenagers” in the opening of the show! LOL

Wow 2 actresses played Wonder Woman for both World War 1 & World War 2 together with Cold War & Modern Wars. Well Done

I love scrappy doo I don't understand the hate on him

Perfect

Thankyou Amigo, glad you understand

We are definitely cool mate, nice having this talk and yeah it's cool what they wanted to do but what they did make I'm not fond off, well see ya around

Scooby-Doo is a fun nostalgic memory.

7:54: Can't you just learn to keep your mouth shut, Mat?!?

That good!

Actually the part where he super friends go to OZ happened twice, in the show and in a game named lego dimensions. In the game you go to other world ps in lego, but you can have a look, so anyways, apparently the three starter characters, wildstyle, Gandalf and batman traveled through the dimensions and came across OZ. So basically this is the second time.

I remember seeing the sitcom Friends on TBS.

I’m now getting interested into the challenge of the super friends

On top of Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo was my childhood cartoon. Oh, the memories. Sitting in front of my crappy TV watching cartoons. What happened to these amazing shows? Now we have.......Regular Show.......*shiver*

Can you believe Scooby doo’s celebrating it’s 50th anniversary?

I wanna see part 4!!

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was actually released in 1988, not 1998.

I hate to say it but I loved a pup named Scooby Doo being a 90s kid. In myopinion it was cool and more funny than the old one

I grew up watching the Smurfs and until I saw this video I did't even know the Smurfs originated in France for years I always thought they were an American cartoon series.

5:08 DAAH SUPAHFRENDS

The Addams Family cartoon of 1992 was a great Hanna Barbera cartoon!

2 stupid Dogs are my all time favorite Hanna Barbera show!

2:13 THAT WAS FUNNY

McCracken...YES!

He really was the man of steel.

I enjoyed 2002's version of Scooby Doo

Scooby-Doo is a massive beautiful show

Scooby Doo was what made me mercilessly beg my parents to get satellite (cable wasn't an option out in the countryside)

I loved scooby doo as a kid I wish the newer scooby doo series was like the old ones

10:03 that misogynistic comment jumped the fuck out of nowhere

This year (2019) will mark the 50th anniversary of Scooby Doo. “What a Night for a Knight” the very 1st episode of “Scooby Doo! Where Are You?” First premiered on September 13, 1969. This is also means that Frank Welker has been the voice actor for Fred for 50 years! And that was his very first voice acting job as well.

wait what about godzilla

Hang on, there was a company actually called "Financial American Cororation", well it's pretty straight forward at least.

A pup named Scooby doo aired in 1988 not 1998

3:05 they are not rip off it goes to show you that Scooby doo is not the only mystery slover

some of those Scooby doo spinoffs was aired on Nickelodeon until 1992

Scoobert Doo.

Animat! You sound like Rodney for Phineas and Ferb, for the introducing of "THE SUPER FRIENDS" XD

Nice Cell Phone Jokes!

4:34 oh my God what happened to Shaggy's arms (O-O)

Great lookback Mat, this one has some of my favorite shows in this part. You really crack down on researching, how long do you think it takes you to find enough history about each show? I this is a coindicence, but today is my birthday and you couldn't have released it on a better day xD

Scrappy-Doo was in the movies!!!!!!!!

There is a animated reboot having a release date in 2020 as my favorite version of Scooby doo is the one in the late 2000's and early 2010's.

The Super Friends lay the ground work for the DCAU & DC Nation.

Does Anyone Remember The Josie And The Pussycats 2001 Movie?

Another thing similar to Scooby and Sesame Street is they were both released on 1969, making them the same age.

*The Man Of Tin!*

Ted Knight was the voiceover narrator for Super Friends in 1973

there's a Sony movie of the smurfs and even a sequel

I LOVE SCOOBY DOO

7:09 not the wrestling team

that was interesting. i liked it. do you think you can do an animation lookback special or review on Filmation? just curious.

batman and robin made a guest star in Scooby doo

If it were me I'd like a nursery rhyme reboot of the Smurfs

[Even More Flashbax]

What the smurf were they thinking when they made that atrocity of a film called the Tom and Jerry movie?

A Pup Named Scooby Doo first started airing in the 80s but went into syndication in the 90s. And you forgot to mention the Scooby Doo movies of the late 90s (Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, Cyber Chase, Alien Encounter, etc), which got a little bit more of the dark tone of the original concept. And for some reason, the only original actor they got to reprise his role was Frank Welken as Fred. Don Messick passed away in 1996, but the other leads were still alive. And Casey Kasem returned for . . .

And Adventure Time too. It's great.

Glad to you, good that you know that people hating the film is a everyday occurrence, nice having this interesting chat and I have nothing against the creators especially William Hanna and Joseph Barbera because well they created Tom and Jerry but I'm sorry I still hate the movie, it made the Nostalgia Critic cry if you seen his review

When you were talking about A pup named Scooby Doo did you say 1998 or 1988?

We can use WHALES!

agreed

If you don't know who Scooby- Doo is, you have an issue.

Scooby doo sufferio the tragic mystery is now announced

Also..... My grandmother

I like the old scooby doo shows they aree better then the new ones

The live action Smurfs was wierd.

7:04 baby Darth Vader
