Hanna-Barbera is a company that ruled televised animation for decades. There was a time when they controlled over 80% of the market but then it came crashing down. How did this happen? How did this studio fall so far from grace?

They were never good in the first place and folded as soon as real competition showed up.

H-B RUINED cartoons with their crappy “partial animation.” It was a real Grade-Z operation.
