AtariMan76 5 years 10 months ago Posts: 750	If you had to like only one animation company, which one would it be? Filmation, or Hanna Barbera? For me, that would be a tough decision. Hanna Barbera brought us cartoons like "The Herculoids", and "The Pirates of Dark Water". On the other hand, had it not been for Filmation, we wouldn't have "Star Trek: The Animated Series", or "He-Man". I guess I would have to choose Filmation.

Hanna Barbera's earliest series and their recent series (some of the Cartoon Cartoons, 2 Stupid Dogs etc) were the only good series they've made. Everything else (i.e. Jabberjaw, Scooby-Doo etc) was pure crap in my opinion.

They gave us He-Man and the Masters Of The Universe, Ghost Busters (their original version that I haven't seen yet), The New Adventures Of Heckle & Jeckle and Quackula, The New Adventures Of Mighty Mouse, Fat Albert, and Star Trek. I like Hanna Barbera though. The Flintstones, The Smurfs, Yogi Bear, Top Cat, Wacky Races, Dastardly And Muttley, too much to list.

But if I were to say which one is better, I would say Hanna-Barbara, just because they had some good cartoons from the 1960s and the mid-to-late 90s. Most of their cartoons from the 70s and 80s are incredibly horrible to watch as an adult. As for Filmation, I can't name one cartoon from that company that still stands the test of time for me as an adult. The only reason why these cartoons were good in the first place was because you grew up with them.

I loved some of H-B's older stuff like their version of Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones; Top Cat etc. I also liked their 90s shows like 2 Stupid Dogs; Dexter's Laboratory; The PowerPuff Girls; Johnny Bravo etc. But as for Filmation, I too can't recall a single good show by them. I prefer Disney, Spumco, Warner Bros., Pixar, Williams Street, DreamWorks, and Aardman over both of them though.

jeffm 1 year 6 months ago Posts: 5	I often liked De Patie-Freleng's cartoons better than either Hanna-Barbera's or Filmation's myself. Sure, H-B made some lousy shows; TV production was/is an assembly line and a lot of it was just product to serve a purpose. But H-B had some talented and experienced people; they were pros, and they brought a lot to the table. I still fondly remember the goofy humor of "Wacky Races" and its spin-off "Perils of Penelope Pitstop," the action and art style of Alex Toth in "Space Ghost," "Young Samson" and others, and (best of all) both the art work and storytelling of newspaper-strip artist Doug Wildey in "Jonny Quest," "Godzilla," and the unjustly forgotten "Jana of the Jungle."

mhill1825 1 year 3 months ago Posts: 1	I like Hanna-Barbera because they make better cartoons than Filmation. I'm not saying Filmation's cartoons are bad, good, or OK; They are pretty interesting. The only Filmation cartoons I like are He-Man, She-Ra, and Fat Albert. I'll say it again I like Hanna-Barbera better than Filmation.

	Don't pay any attention to the evil spirited and dead of heart. They're not worth your time.
