The IMPOSSIBLES Original Animation TELEVISION SERIES 1960s

 

Type: AWESOME Original Hand Drawn Production Animation Drawing of the Dr. Futuro from the 1969 HANNA BARBERA Animated TELEVISION SERIES

 

This is one of the original Production Layout (Pencil Drawings) that was used to DESIGN THE ART that appeared under the camera during

the production filming of the original Television Commercial.

The Impossibles was a series of animated cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1966 and aired on American television by CBS. The series of shorts (6 minutes) appeared as part of Frankenstein, Jr. and The Impossibles.

 

The Impossibles were a trio of rock and roll musicians. When contacted by "Big D" (voiced by Paul Frees) about criminal activities in Empire City, they became superheroes. Like the Monkees, the group’s appearance (in their musician form) was based on 1960s pop star stereotypes, which included somewhat long hair, brightly colored (and matching) outfits, high-heeled boots, screaming female fans and, unlike the Monkees, no percussion or bass instruments. Nothing is known about their personal lives, although Fluid-Man once mentioned having an Aunt Tilly. They seemed to have secret identities though even a little child would have no trouble connecting the singing Impossibles to the hero Impossibles on appearance alone. They also seemed to change to their "secret identities" in front of the crowds they were playing to when given a mission.

The Impossibles

 

Posing as a trio of young rock 'n roll musicians, the Impossibles were in reality super-powered crime fighters dedicated to battling evil supervillains of all shapes and sizes. When performing for their adoring fans (usually star-struck, screaming teeny boppers) the lads would play their mod, futuristic-looking guitars atop an equally futuristic bandstand (emblazoned with their "Impossibles" logo on the side, ala Ringo's drumkit) that could convert into a car (the "Impossi-Mobile"), or a jet (the "Impossi-Jet"), a speedboat, or even a submarine. Their standard catch cry when called into action was "Rally ho!"

 

Their humorous dialogue was typically peppered with puns. As with many Hanna-Barbera characters, The Impossibles were topical and inspired by their times, in this case resembling the rock 'n roll groups of the mid-Sixties.

The Heroes

 

Each member of the Impossibles had a specific, and very visual superpower:

 

Coil-Man (voiced by Hal Smith) - Short, barrel-chested and sporting a mod haircut, blond "Coily" could transform his arms and legs into impossibly stretchable or coiled springs, allowing him to bounce to avoid attacks, deliver long-range punches, or drill through walls. Coil-Man usually drove the Impossi-jet, and his guitar contained a small TV receiver through which "Big D" (voiced by Paul Frees, who also served as the voice over Narrator in almost every episode) could contact the group and deliver orders (Big D used Multi Man's guitar in "The Fiendish Dr Futuro," "Beamatron," and "The Diabolical Dauber"). Because of his presumably metal coils, Coily could be held in place by a super magnet, but could also conduct heat or electricity with his coils. He also hid in a closet disguised as a wire coat hanger, further implying that he was at least partially made of metal. Coil-Man's costume was purple and blue and included a purple mask and a cowl crested by a triangular fin.

Fluid-Man (voiced by Paul Frees) - Dark-haired Fluid-Man, aka "Fluey", could morph parts of his body into a liquid form, a talent perfect for sneaking up on an enemy though a water faucet. He could also vaporize himself into a cloud or storm, but he could also be soaked up and trapped by a sponge ("Televisatron" and "Return of the Spinner"), or frozen solid inside a block of ice ("Not So Nice Mr. Ice"). Fluid-Man's costume resembled a lime green wetsuit complete with diver's mask and swimfins. Fluey's speaking style indicated that he was the beatnik of the group.

Multi-Man (voiced by Don Messick) - Multi could create infinite duplicates of himself which were often destroyed, leaving only the original behind. His duplicates rarely, if ever, functioned independently, and were often used as camouflage, a bluff, for extra strength or transportation (he could fly by continuously creating replicas above himself). When duplicating himself, he could push tons of rocks out of the way or crack the block of solid concrete he and the others were entombed in. The character had shaggy, orange hair and he usually held a shield emblazoned with a capital 'M' for what seems decorative reasons, though he has used it at least twice. In one instance, Multi repelled bullets with his bare hand ("Fero, the Fiendish Fiddler"), however it may be the shield was supposed to have been used but was accidentally left undrawn. Multi-Man's angular, red and black costume resembled an oversized, stylized 'M', and included a short, triangular redcape. A physical trait that he shared with many of his contemporaries in cartoons and comics of the mid-Sixties was a mop of hair that entirely covered his eyes. Favorite saying: "You got them all except the original." Multi bore a resemblance to the four identical members of the singing group "The Way Outs" from "The Flintstones."

Each episode usually began with the villain pulling off his improbable caper while the Impossibles are busy performing at a gig or concert across town, where they are called into action by their chief, "Big D." After a series of funny super powered forays, the Impossibles would best the baddie, and usually return to finish their gig.

The Villains

 

The Impossibles faced many bizarre villains, similar to those Batman and Superman had to face:

 

The Spinner (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain with spider-based powers, specifically web spinning. He is one of the villains to have more than one appearance. The first time was when he stole a million dollar tiara. The second was when he stole a poodle by the name of "Little Miss Muffet".

Perilous Paper Doll Man (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain made of paper who has the ability to slip underneath locked doors, or fold himself into paper airplanes for a quick getaway. He is one of the villains to have more than one appearance. The first time was when he stole most of the top secret plans from the Pentagon and had to return there to get Plan X. The second time was when he was robbing hotels.

Professor Stretch (voiced by Paul Frees) - A super-stretchy supervillain with elasticity powers. He is one of the villains to have more than one appearance. The first time was when he sabotaged a tank by using powder from a shaker that turns anything into rubber and in the end we see him being used as a basketball. The second time was when he created a monster made of rubber cooking chowder.

Beamatron, the Laser Beam Man (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain who shot laser beams from his fingers, lasers had short battery lives.

The Bubbler (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain who kidnaps the young Shah of Shishkabob (voiced by Ginny Tyler) by sealing him in an unbreakable bubble. The Bubbler has an undersea hideout at the bottom of the ocean guarded by a giant attack octopus named Octavius. However, Multi ties Ocky into knots.

The Burrower (voiced by Allen Melvin) - A supervillain who burrows under banks in order to pilfer the money inside. He has a henchman named Muddy (possibly voiced by either Hal Smith or John Stephenson) who has a worm named Curly (Don Messick).

Timeatron (voiced by Keye Luke)- A supervillain who can bring villains from the past to help him. These villains include Captain Kid (Paul Frees), Jesse James (Don Messick), and Goliath (Hal Smith). Timeatron goes to bring back Alexander the Great (Don Messick) but ends up trapped thanks to Multi destroying the time cabinet with an ax.

Smogula (voiced by Alan Reed) - A supervillain who floats around in a rain cloud and wields a weather-controlling ray-gun.

Sinister Speck (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain who has a potion that lets him shrink and grow at will.

Mother Gruesome (voiced by June Foray) - A female criminal that uses a machine that can bring villainous storybook characters to life. She has a pet crow named Cromwell (Don Messick).

Fero, the Fiendish Fiddler (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain who, despite his attire making him look like a caricature of Nero, could send people and objects to anywhere he wished with a hi-tech violin.

Diabolical Dauber (voiced by Paul Winchell) - A supervillain artist that brings to life anything that he paints.

Televisitron (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain who used a remote control to send his foes into various channels of the television to do them in.

Aquator (voiced by Paul Winchell) - An underwater-based supervillain who steals a formula for changing the size of organisms in an attempt to create an army of giant-sized micro-organisms.

Devilish Dragster (voiced by Daws Butler) - A speedy car thief with a Boris Karloff accent who steals a diamond-encrusted car.

The Puzzler - A supervillain who had the ability to change shape due to being a living puzzle. Notably, he is the only villain given an origin, as he mentions having fallen into a jigsaw-making machine which gave him his abilities.

Satanic Surfer (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain that can surf and use a remote control ukelele.

Scurrilous Sculptor (voiced by Lennie Weinrib) - A supervillain who carries a gun that fires quick-dry cement either turning people into statues or making instant rocks and walls.

Scheming Spraysol (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain with a spray nozzle helmet that sprays liquid or gas.

Dastardly Diamond Dazzler (voiced by Alan Reed) - A villain in a turban who steals a diamond that contains a genie (Hal Smith).

Terrible Twister (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain that is dress like a top with a propeller beanie who steals by spinning like a twister.

Terrifying Tapper (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain that can travel through telephone wires with his weapon, the deceminator which he used to send Coil Man to Ackbar the Martian (Don Messick) in his flying saucer and Multi Man to Captain Cutlass (Hal Smith or Alan Reed) on his smuggling ship, the Sea Serpent.

Anxious Angler (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain in a torpedo-shaped fish suit that steals with a fishing rod.

Rascally Ringmaster (voiced by Hal Smith) - A villain who has circus performers as his henchmen.

Infamous Mr. Instant (voiced by Paul Frees) - A scientist that has a gun that can create anything in an instant.

Crafty Clutcher (voiced by Don Messick) - An inventive supervillain that has created remote-controlled gloves for clutching anything at a long distance.

Not So Nice Mr. Ice (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain that plans to conquer the city by freezing it with the help of his henchman Freezer (Don Messick).

Bizarre Batter (voiced by Don Messick) - A supervillain that bases his crimes on baseball.

All villains were defeated in a timely manner and justice was always served. Some villains were made to serve a useful purpose and even went straight upon their capture:

 

The Artful Archer (voiced by Paul Frees) - A supervillain who was dressed like Robin Hood. He decided to take up being a musician.

Cronella Critch the Tricky Witch (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl) - A witch who was robbing a charity-for-orphans party. She was turned into a cat due to a spell reversal by Multi-Man.

Billy the Kidder (voiced by Hal Smith) - A futuristic western bandit that wanted to rob from the Mint. After serving his time he is seen as a rodeo clown.

Dr. Futuro (voiced by Paul Frees) - A villain from the 40th century, who traveled to the 1960s in order to steal a gold brick to finance his crimes. He accidentally ran into an age-reversing machine, and was turned into a baby.

The Insidious Inflator (voiced by Hal Smith) - A supervillain who attacked places with giant balloons that he brought to life by using a special ray-gun. He had served time and is seen selling balloons to children.

An ad for the Saturday morning cartoon lineup in comic books of the time referred to "the Bubbler," "Bratfink," and "The Sponge."

 

The Impossibles episodes were written by the great Warner Brothers story man Michael Maltese, who is known mostly for his work with director Chuck Jones

 

The show was a package program similar to the Hanna-Barbera/NBC show The Banana Splits, except that it contained no live-action segments. During the 1969–1970 season, Cattanooga Cats ran one hour and contained four segments. During the 1970–1971 season, the segments It's the Wolf! and Motormouse and Autocat were spun off into a half-hour show. Around the World in 79 Days remained a part of Cattanoga Cats, which was reduced to a half-hour. Motormouse and Autocat ran concurrently with Cattanooga Cats until both met their demise at the end of the 1970–1971 season.

 

Cattanooga Cats

 

Cattanooga Cats depicted the adventures of a fictitious rock band similar to The Archies and The Banana Splits populated by anthropomorphic hillbilly cats consisting of:

 

Lead singer/guitarist Country (voiced by Bill Callaway)

Singer/dancer Kitty Jo (voiced by Julie Bennett)

Bassist Scoots (voiced by Jim Begg)

Drummer Groove (voiced by Casey Kasem)

A fifth member, a mouse keyboardist named "Cheesie", was storyboarded but cut out of the series. The group travelled around in a van, was chased by a female cat groupie named Jessie the "Autograph Hound" (also voiced by Julie Bennett) and Kitty Jo owned a big blue dog named "Teeny Tim". The singing vocals for The Cattanooga Cats were performed by Michael Lloyd and Peggy Clinger. Producer Mike Curb was the musical director for the series and co-wrote all the songs performed by the Cattanooga Cats. Ted Nichols composed the background music. An LP, The Cattanooga Cats (Forward ST-F-1018), featuring some of the songs used in the series was released in 1969.

 

The Cats also appeared in various "bumpers" between the other cartoons, but were best remembered for their animated musical segments. These cartoons showed a strong psychedelic and op-art influence and the Cattanooga Cats remain a cult favorite to this day

Magilla Gorilla is a fictional gorilla and the star of The Magilla Gorilla Show by Hanna-Barbera that aired from 1964 to 1967

Magilla Gorilla (voiced by Allan Melvin[2]) is a gorilla who spends his time languishing in the front display window of Melvin Peebles' pet shop, eating bananas and being a drain on the businessman's finances. Peebles (voiced by Howard Morris and later by Don Messick) marked down Magilla's price considerably, but Magilla was invariably only purchased for a short time, typically by some thieves who needed a gorilla to break into a bank or by an advertising agency looking for a mascot for their new product. The customers always ended up returning Magilla, forcing Peebles to refund their money. Magilla often ended each episode with his catchphrase "We'll try again next week."

 

Like many of Hanna-Barbera's animal characters, Magilla Gorilla was dressed in human accessories, sporting a bow tie, shorts held up by suspenders, and an undersized derby hat.[2]

 

The only customer truly interested in obtaining the trouble-prone Magilla was a little girl named Ogee (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl and pronounced "Oh Gee!"). During the cartoon's theme song, "We've Got a Gorilla for Sale", she asks hopefully, "How much is that gorilla in the window?" a twist on the old standard, "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?"), but she was never able to convince her parents to let her keep Magilla.

 

The trials of Magilla mirrored the attitudes that American citizens had towards racial integration during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The Magilla Gorilla Show perpetuated the idea that non-whites should be segregated, with Peebles selling Magilla to white customers who would invariably return him to the pet shop by the end of each episode.[3]

 

In Yiddish, a "megillah" is a long tedious or embroidered account, from the Hebrew "megillah", a story written in a scroll. One episode has Magilla saying, "Such a megillah over a gorilla

 

Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. (play /ˌhænə bɑrˈbɛrə/) was an American animation studio that dominated North American television animation during the second half of the 20th century. The company was originally formed in 1957 by former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and live-action director George Sidney in partnership with Columbia Pictures' Screen Gems television division as H-B Enterprises, Inc.[1]. Established after MGM shut down its animation studio and ended production of its animated short films (such as the popular Tom and Jerry series), H-B Enterprises, Inc. was renamed Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. in 1959.

 

Over the next three decades, the studio produced many successful animated shows, including The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Quick Draw McGraw Show, The Flintstones, The Yogi Bear Show, Top Cat, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Wacky Races, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and The Smurfs among others. The studio also produced several feature films and cartoon shorts for theaters along with a number of specials and movies for television. While Hanna and Barbera's theatrical work awarded them seven Oscars, their television productions have earned the company eight Emmys[2] and the duo was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the mid-1980s, the company's fortunes declined somewhat after the profitability of Saturday morning cartoons was eclipsed by weekday afternoon syndication.

 

In 1991, the company was purchased by Turner Broadcasting System, who began using much of the H-B back catalog to program the Cartoon Network the following year[3][4]. Both Hanna and Barbera went into semi-retirement after Turner purchased the company, continuing to serve as ceremonial figureheads for and sporadic artistic contributors to the studio. The same year, the company was renamed H-B Production Co. then became Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. in 1994, and in October 1996, Turner merged with Time Warner.

 

By the time of the merger, Turner had turned Hanna-Barbera towards primarily producing new material for Cartoon Network, including the successful Cartoon Cartoons shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel and The Powerpuff Girls. With William Hanna's death in 2001, the studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation, and Cartoon Network Studios continued the projects for Cartoon Network output.

 

Joseph Barbera remained with the Warner Animation division until his death in 2006. Hanna-Barbera currently exists as an in-name-only company used to market properties and productions associated with the studio's "classic" works such as Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo and Huckleberry Hound

A fifth member, a mouse keyboardist named "Cheesie", was storyboarded but cut out of the series. The group travelled around in a van, was chased by a female cat groupie named Jessie the "Autograph Hound" (also voiced by Julie Bennett) and Kitty Jo owned a big blue dog named "Teeny Tim". The singing vocals for The Cattanooga Cats were performed by Michael Lloyd and Peggy Clinger. Producer Mike Curb was the musical director for the series and co-wrote all the songs performed by the Cattanooga Cats. Ted Nichols composed the background music. An LP, The Cattanooga Cats (Forward ST-F-1018), featuring some of the songs used in the series was released in 1969.

  

The Cats also appeared in various "bumpers" between the other cartoons, but were best remembered for their animated musical segments. These cartoons showed a strong psychedelic and op-art influence and the Cattanooga Cats remain a cult favorite to this day

Magilla Gorilla is a fictional gorilla and the star of The Magilla Gorilla Show by Hanna-Barbera that aired from 1964 to 1967

Magilla Gorilla (voiced by Allan Melvin[2]) is a gorilla who spends his time languishing in the front display window of Melvin Peebles' pet shop, eating bananas and being a drain on the businessman's finances. Peebles (voiced by Howard Morris and later by Don Messick) marked down Magilla's price considerably, but Magilla was invariably only purchased for a short time, typically by some thieves who needed a gorilla to break into a bank or by an advertising agency looking for a mascot for their new product. The customers always ended up returning Magilla, forcing Peebles to refund their money. Magilla often ended each episode with his catchphrase "We'll try again next week."

  

Like many of Hanna-Barbera's animal characters, Magilla Gorilla was dressed in human accessories, sporting a bow tie, shorts held up by suspenders, and an undersized derby hat.[2]

  

The only customer truly interested in obtaining the trouble-prone Magilla was a little girl named Ogee (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl and pronounced "Oh Gee!"). During the cartoon's theme song, "We've Got a Gorilla for Sale", she asks hopefully, "How much is that gorilla in the window?" a twist on the old standard, "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?"), but she was never able to convince her parents to let her keep Magilla.

  

The trials of Magilla mirrored the attitudes that American citizens had towards racial integration during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The Magilla Gorilla Show perpetuated the idea that non-whites should be segregated, with Peebles selling Magilla to white customers who would invariably return him to the pet shop by the end of each episode.[3]

  

In Yiddish, a "megillah" is a long tedious or embroidered account, from the Hebrew "megillah", a story written in a scroll. One episode has Magilla saying, "Such a megillah over a gorilla

  

Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. (play /ˌhænə bɑrˈbɛrə/) was an American animation studio that dominated North American television animation during the second half of the 20th century. The company was originally formed in 1957 by former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and live-action director George Sidney in partnership with Columbia Pictures' Screen Gems television division as H-B Enterprises, Inc.[1]. Established after MGM shut down its animation studio and ended production of its animated short films (such as the popular Tom and Jerry series), H-B Enterprises, Inc. was renamed Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. in 1959.

  

Over the next three decades, the studio produced many successful animated shows, including The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Quick Draw McGraw Show, The Flintstones, The Yogi Bear Show, Top Cat, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Wacky Races, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and The Smurfs among others. The studio also produced several feature films and cartoon shorts for theaters along with a number of specials and movies for television. While Hanna and Barbera's theatrical work awarded them seven Oscars, their television productions have earned the company eight Emmys[2] and the duo was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the mid-1980s, the company's fortunes declined somewhat after the profitability of Saturday morning cartoons was eclipsed by weekday afternoon syndication.

  

In 1991, the company was purchased by Turner Broadcasting System, who began using much of the H-B back catalog to program the Cartoon Network the following year[3][4]. Both Hanna and Barbera went into semi-retirement after Turner purchased the company, continuing to serve as ceremonial figureheads for and sporadic artistic contributors to the studio. The same year, the company was renamed H-B Production Co. then became Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. in 1994, and in October 1996, Turner merged with Time Warner.

  

By the time of the merger, Turner had turned Hanna-Barbera towards primarily producing new material for Cartoon Network, including the successful Cartoon Cartoons shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel and The Powerpuff Girls. With William Hanna's death in 2001, the studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation, and Cartoon Network Studios continued the projects for Cartoon Network output.

  

Joseph Barbera remained with the Warner Animation division until his death in 2006. Hanna-Barbera currently exists as an in-name-only company used to market properties and productions associated with the studio's "classic" works such as Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo and Huckleberry Hound

Sinbad Jr. and his Magic Belt, is a series of 5-minute adventures, which originally aired between 1965-1966, produced by Hanna-Barbera studios for American International Television division of American International Pictures, and were shown during a half-hour cartoon.

 

Sinbad Jr. (Tim Matheson) is the son of Sinbad, the famous sea explorer. He becomes superhuman getting his power from his magic belt. His first mate is the funny and loyal assistant Salty the Parrot (Mel Blanc). Matheson and Blanc were the voices used in the Hanna-Barbera versions.

 

Sinbad Jr., the Sailor was originally titled The Adventures of Sinbad, Jr. and produced for American International Television by Sam Singer, who had produced 1957's The Adventures of Pow Wow the Indian Boy, a very limited animated cartoon for CBS-TV's Captain Kangaroo series, and Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse. In an effort to improve the quality of the animation, production of the 1965 syndicated cartoons was taken over by Hanna-Barbera. Thus it became one of the few cartoons to be produced by two different studios.

 

It was renamed Sinbad Jr., the Sailor out of deference to the 1962 Toei Studios feature length cartoon, Adventures of Sinbad.

 

The rights to the series are now owned by AIP successor Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer - the very studio where the Hanna-Barbera team got its start.

 

The show was a package program similar to the Hanna-Barbera/NBC show The Banana Splits, except that it contained no live-action segments.

Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. ( /ˌhænə bɑrˈbɛrə/) was an American animation studio that dominated North American television animation during the second half of the 20th century. The company was originally formed in 1957 by former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and live-action director George Sidney in partnership with Columbia Pictures' Screen Gems television division as H-B Enterprises, Inc.[1]. Established after MGM shut down its animation studio and ended production of its animated short films (such as the popular Tom and Jerry series), H-B Enterprises, Inc. was renamed Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. in 1959.

    

Over the next three decades, the studio produced many successful animated shows, including The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Quick Draw McGraw Show, The Flintstones, The Yogi Bear Show, Top Cat, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Wacky Races, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and The Smurfs among others. The studio also produced several feature films and cartoon shorts for theaters along with a number of specials and movies for television. While Hanna and Barbera's theatrical work awarded them seven Oscars, their television productions have earned the company eight Emmys[2] and the duo was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the mid-1980s, the company's fortunes declined somewhat after the profitability of Saturday morning cartoons was eclipsed by weekday afternoon syndication.

    

In 1991, the company was purchased by Turner Broadcasting System, who began using much of the H-B back catalog to program the Cartoon Network the following year[3][4]. Both Hanna and Barbera went into semi-retirement after Turner purchased the company, continuing to serve as ceremonial figureheads for and sporadic artistic contributors to the studio. The same year, the company was renamed H-B Production Co. then became Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. in 1994, and in October 1996, Turner merged with Time Warner.

    

By the time of the merger, Turner had turned Hanna-Barbera towards primarily producing new material for Cartoon Network, including the successful Cartoon Cartoons shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel and The Powerpuff Girls. With William Hanna's death in 2001, the studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation, and Cartoon Network Studios continued the projects for Cartoon Network output.

    

Joseph Barbera remained with the Warner Animation division until his death in 2006. Hanna-Barbera currently exists as an in-name-only company used to market properties and productions associated with the studio's "classic" works such as Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo and Huckleberry Hound

    

Magilla Gorilla (voiced by Allan Melvin[2]) is a gorilla who spends his time languishing in the front display window of Melvin Peebles' pet shop, eating bananas and being a drain on the businessman's finances. Peebles (voiced by Howard Morris and later by Don Messick) marked down Magilla's price considerably, but Magilla was invariably only purchased for a short time, typically by some thieves who needed a gorilla to break into a bank or by an advertising agency looking for a mascot for their new product. The customers always ended up returning Magilla, forcing Peebles to refund their money. Magilla often ended each episode with his catchphrase "We'll try again next week."

    

Like many of Hanna-Barbera's animal characters, Magilla Gorilla was dressed in human accessories, sporting a bow tie, shorts held up by suspenders, and an undersized derby hat.[2]

    

The only customer truly interested in obtaining the trouble-prone Magilla was a little girl named Ogee (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl and pronounced "Oh Gee!"). During the cartoon's theme song, "We've Got a Gorilla for Sale", she asks hopefully, "How much is that gorilla in the window?" a twist on the old standard, "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?"), but she was never able to convince her parents to let her keep Magilla.

    

The trials of Magilla mirrored the attitudes that American citizens had towards racial integration during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The Magilla Gorilla Show perpetuated the idea that non-whites should be segregated, with Peebles selling Magilla to white customers who would invariably return him to the pet shop by the end of each episode.[3]

Cattanooga Cats is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera for ABC. It aired from September 6, 1969 until September 4, 1971

The show was a package program similar to the Hanna-Barbera/NBC show The Banana Splits, except that it contained no live-action segments. During the 1969–1970 season, Cattanooga Cats ran one hour and contained four segments. During the 1970–1971 season, the segments It's the Wolf! and Motormouse and Autocat were spun off into a half-hour show. Around the World in 79 Days remained a part of Cattanoga Cats, which was reduced to a half-hour. Motormouse and Autocat ran concurrently with Cattanooga Cats until both met their demise at the end of the 1970–1971 season.

Cattanooga Cats

Cattanooga Cats depicted the adventures of a fictitious rock band similar to The Archies and The Banana Splits populated by anthropomorphic hillbilly cats consisting of:

    

Lead singer/guitarist Country (voiced by Bill Callaway)

Singer/dancer Kitty Jo (voiced by Julie Bennett)

Bassist Scoots (voiced by Jim Begg)

Drummer Groove (voiced by Casey Kasem)

A fifth member, a mouse keyboardist named "Cheesie", was storyboarded but cut out of the series. The group travelled around in a van, was chased by a female cat groupie named Jessie the "Autograph Hound" (also voiced by Julie Bennett) and Kitty Jo owned a big blue dog named "Teeny Tim". The singing vocals for The Cattanooga Cats were performed by Michael Lloyd and Peggy Clinger. Producer Mike Curb was the musical director for the series and co-wrote all the songs performed by the Cattanooga Cats. Ted Nichols composed the background music. An LP, The Cattanooga Cats (Forward ST-F-1018), featuring some of the songs used in the series was released in 1969.

    

The Cats also appeared in various "bumpers" between the other cartoons, but were best remembered for their animated musical segments. These cartoons showed a strong psychedelic and op-art influence and the Cattanooga Cats remain a cult favorite to this day

        

Motormouse and Autocat

Essentially a motor-racing version of Tom and Jerry, this segment involved the antics of a race car-driving cat and a motorcycle-driving mouse. Much of the segment's appeal lay in the bizarre cars that Autocat (voiced by Marty Ingels) devised in his attempts to catch Motormouse (voiced by Dick Curtis), and in the pleasing, and unusual character voices and dialect. For example, Motormouse would often over enunciate words, saying things like "Chi-co-ry", and greeting Autocat with a friendly "Hey there, Au-to-cat". Motormouse resembled Pixie & Dixie in character design

Another for your wallpaper collections. i love this cat and his dinner-to-be Motormouse.

At one time I had the novel idea that I might create a picture that encompassed my version of the Laff-A-Lympics teams with who I thought should be on each. I did many sketch of the many stars already on the show and many who I thought should be on it. Then 2 things happened; 1. Time; I just don’t have the time to make it one big picture the way I wanted to, and 2. In the middle of me doing this piece, David Nimitz created a piece that is totally brilliant. Yeah, I colored some of what he used in his version, but his team that he created was awesome. SO...why try and do my own, when that was a great picture to behold? Also, I just don’t have the expertise to make a group shot that looks right, or good for that matter.

 

So, here are the characters I finished with the new member si believed would be fun, had they been a part of the team. Some of the characters I wanted on some of the teams, were simply not created as well as some characters who are already on the team, I did not feel needed to be recreated by me. So, here, for your enjoyment, is the concept art for my proposed Laff-A-Lympics’ new teammates.

 

Should he have been apart of the Rottens? with that logic, i guess you could say the same about Mr. Jinks

Thought i would see how this guy would look in different color schemes.

Motormouse and Autocat

The show was a package program similar to the Hanna-Barbera/NBC show The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, except that it contained no live-action segments. During the 1969–1970 season, Cattanooga Cats ran one hour and contained four segments. During the 1970–1971 season, the segments It's the Wolf! and Motormouse and Autocat were spun off into a half-hour show. Around the World in 79 Days remained a part of Cattanoga Cats, which was reduced to a half-hour. Motormouse and Autocat ran concurrently with Cattanooga Cats until the 1970–1971 season

Essentially a motor-racing version of Tom and Jerry, this segment involved the antics of a race car-driving cat and a motorcycle-driving mouse. Much of the segment's appeal lay in the bizarre cars that Autocat (voiced by Marty Ingels) devised in his attempts to catch Motormouse (voiced by Dick Curtis), and in the pleasing, and unusual character voices and dialect. For example, Motormouse would often over enunciate words, saying things like "Chi-co-ry", and greeting Autocat with a friendly "Hey there, Au-to-cat". Motormouse resembled Pixie & Dixie in character design.
