Hanna-Barbera Productions

The first major animation studio to

produce cartoons especially for
television was Hanna-Barbera
Productions

Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. (also called HannaBarbera Cartoons, Inc., and Hanna-Barbera Enterprises,
Inc.), 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 1944 by MGM animation directors William
Hanna and Joseph Barbera and live-action director
George Sidney as Hanna-Barbera Enterprises in order to
produce sponsored films and later television
commercials. Today, Hanna-Barbera is now an in-nameonly unit of Warner Bros. Animation.

Limited animation
One of the problems with producing animation for television was the
extremely labor intensive animation process. While theatrical short subjects
were previously produced in six month cycles or longer, network television
needed a season of 10-20 half hour episodes each year. This led to a
number of shortcut

techniques to speed up the production

process, and the techniques of limited animation were applied to produce

a great number of quickly-produced, low-budget TV

cartoons.

Limited animation

The Jay Ward studio, producer of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, used limited animation in its
series, but compensated with its satire of Cold War politics and popular culture and its off-beat
humor. Like the earlier Crusader Rabbit, the Rocky and Bullwinkle adventures were multi-part
serials. The Ward studio also produced George of the Jungle, Super Chicken, and Tom Slick. It later
produced a series of popular television commercials for Quaker Oats cereals Cap'n Crunch, Quisp
and Quake.

Animation technique
Anime is often considered a form of limited animation. That means that
stylistically, even in bigger productions the conventions of limited
animation are used to fool the eye into thinking there is more movement
than there is.[3] Many of the techniques used are comprised with costcutting measures while working under a set budget.
