View source for 1970s

The '''1970s''' were the third decade since [[William Hanna]] and [[Joseph Barbera]] founded [[Hanna-Barbera]].

Following the success of ''[[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (TV series)|Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!]]'', the company produced several spin-offs for the series, such as ''[[The New Scooby-Doo Movies]]'' ([[1972]]) and ''[[The Scooby-Doo Show]]'' ([[1976]]), which were regularly continued to be produced by Hanna-Barbera into the [[1990s]]. 

For the majoraty of the decade, the studio produced nearly two-thirds of all Saturday morning cartoons in a year, which further bolstered their reputation as "The General Motors of animation". Many H-B series produced at the time, including ''[[Josie and the Pussycats]]'', ''[[The Funky Phantom]]'', ''[[Speed Buggy (TV series)|Speed Buggy]]'', ''[[Jabberjaw (TV series)|Jabberjaw]]'', and ''[[Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels]]'' were built upon the mystery template from ''Scooby-Doo'', with many focusing on the adventures of teenagers solving mysteries with a comic relief of sort. The studio also produced cartoons outside of the mystery genre, with series such as ''[[Hong Kong Phooey (TV series)|Hong Kong Phooey]]'', ''[[The Great Grape Ape Show]]'', and ''[[The Mumbly Cartoon Show]]''.

They also attempted to follow the success of their ''[[The Flintstones (TV series)|Flintstones]]'' series, which included the spin-offs ''[[The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show]]'' and ''[[The Flintstone Comedy Hour]]'', and other series such as  ''[[The Roman Holidays]]'', ''[[Where's Huddles?]]'' and ''[[Wait Till Your Father Gets Home]]''; the last two of which were their first prime-time sitcom since ''[[The Jetsons (TV series)|The Jetsons]]''.

In [[1973]], Hanna-Barbera adapted [[DC Comics]]' ''Justice League of America'' for the ''[[Super Friends (1973 TV series)|Super Friends]]'' action-adventure series, which spawned several iterations through [[1986]].

''[[Charlotte's Web (film)|Charlotte's Web]]'', adapted from the E.B. White novel and Hanna-Barbera's first film not based on their shows, was distributed by [[Paramount Pictures]] in 1973.
