By the 1980s, Hanna-Barbera had taken cartoon characters the Smurfs and developed a U.S. TV show for them. That program, which is populated by the small, blue human-like characters called Smurfs. "The Smurfs" still air in some 30 countries.

Hi Cheesy, yes I heard this news at lunch time Today. Very sad indeed. :neutral:

They didn't mention the smurfs on the radio but certainly many of his other cartoons such as The Flinstones and Scooby Doo.

I think to make it to 95 years of age is wonderful and I am sure he had a very fufilling life. :rose:

When I was little I used to think that Hanna-Barbera was the name of a lady who made all the cartoons. :o

Hi, attombomb7!

On Boomerang, they play cartoons mostly from the 60's to the 90's, mostly Hanna-Barbera.
