Just asking, because Warner Bros. released Centurions and other cartoons of theirs under the "Hanna-Barbera Classics" name, and I'd like to know if they count as HB productions.

The Ruby-Spears studio was founded in 1977 as a subsidiary of Filmways and was sold in late 1981 to Taft Broadcasting, becoming a sister company to Hanna-Barbera Productions. In 1991, Ruby-Spears was spun off into RS Holdings while most of the original Ruby-Spears library (its pre-1991 library) was sold along with Hanna-Barbera to Turner Broadcasting System, which in turn merged with Time Warner (now WarnerMedia) in 1996. The Ruby-Spears studio closed in 1996 after 19 years of operation.[2]

What's next, Mega Man being recognized as a Hanna-Barbera cartoon?

Filmways was sold to Orion Pictures Corporation which became a part of MGM (alongside United Artists) while the pre-1997 MGM library (Little Women, Fame, etc) went to Turner Broadcasting System which in turn merged with Time Warner (now WarnerMedia).
