Prior to Hanna-Barbera, it was a commonly held belief that the medium of animation couldn’t translate to television. Television professionals found that many of the techniques that were prerequisites for animation in movies were impossible to replicate on the small screen.

Or rather impractical to replicate on the small screen due to the budgetary restrictions of television versus cinema.

I meant only to read the “planned animation” section to learn something - I instead read the whole long-form piece. Hanna-Barbera did so much more that I knew. Neat.

Hearing Betty voiced by June Foray was a real treat!

“Planned animation” is a euphemism for this.

Limited animation
