Huckleberry Hound is considered one of the greatest animated shows of all time, and placed 63rd on IGN's list of the Top 100 Animated Shows.[1] Huck appears in many crossover and revival projects featuring Hanna-Barbera characters. It was also the first animated show to win an Emmy, proving itself to be Hanna-Barbera's first real hit.[2]

Huck is rumored to be one of the favorite characters of Funko CEO Andrew Perlmutter, which would explain why he specfically has been made into many different Funko Pops. His popularity as a Funko character earned him the role as the co-host of The Freddy Funko Show.

Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe, said that The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound influenced Steven Universe: The Movie, which makes sense considering both movies are about the characters losing their memories.[3]
