I've embedded that above Twitter video to show a sample of the excellent yet economical animation craft of Hannah Barbera studios.
Their line of TV shows and characters is prodigious. They captured and sparked the imagination of a generation and remains, in hindsight, a pithy time capsule of pop-culture.
As you'll see at this Google Image Search for Hanna Barbera, some of their characters are still subjects for movies and TV shows.
My favorites were, Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, The Herculoids and Frankenstein Jr.
In the 90s, my Cartooning Classes and I put out a zine called Tigrikorn Comic Fanzine in which I would do quick reviews of media etc. Below are page spreads of my Hanna Barbera cartoon reviews from three separate issues.
