At the annual CinemaCon convention this week in Las Vegas, Warner Bros. announced its intention to start up a CG-animated (we assume) “cinematic universe” centered around the animated characters from the Hanna-Barbera studios and run by the Warner Animation Group (WAG) team.
Have you ever caught an episode of the Hanna-Barbera animated series Top Cat? The original series, which ran from 1961-1962, has long been relegated to reruns on Boomerang, etc. The characters, however, have been enjoying a bit of a revival courtesy of Mexico-based Anima Estudios.
A new animated feature film based on the Hanna-Barbera TV staple The Flintstones is currently in development at Warner Bros. Animation.
Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are the film’s executive producers and Chris Henchy has been hired as the screenwriter.
