Hanna Barbera Cartoon Studios, Building and the stored celluloids - Los Angeles

[@viola_monet]

such a cool video!! thank you!!

[@intheair2777]

Thank you very much and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope to add to it so I can finish it the way I had hoped. The covid shutdown kept me from getting into the Museum Part. Which you probably saw at the very end, so far I don't believe they have open that back up yet since covid

@@intheair2777 I saw that there is a Hanna Barbera exhibit in the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts! Definitely something on my bucket list to visit. Do you know if there's anything like that here in California?

[@intheair2777]

@@viola_monet Massachusetts? really, interesting that one would be there or any other place then here in Los Angeles. And yes there is or was one in that Mall I showed in my video, at that location. In fact I recorded there at that time to go in and check it out and record the visit for this video but it was locked down. My plan is to one day go back and see if they opened or moved it and finish off a "Part 2" and show many more of their cartoons and talk of each toons History. In my video I didn't get a chance to go over as many as I had planned because I wanted to gather more info from there, the Horses mouth so to speak. It was part of the research I had planned on. But as soon as I find out I will be doing it and finish a part 2.

You can never forget swat kats bud

[@intheair2777]

Ahhh Swat Kats were 1993. Yes one just under the wire, for as you know the building stopped producing at this location in 1997. I just hope that I can finish this the way it was meant to be. I wanted to do more about the celluloid which were kept in a Sherman Oaks museum that seemed to close shop. It was there until covid began so I am hoping it comes back. But I plan to see where they are and do a part two with more about the most popular cartoons.

I wish they could’ve left the studio alone and just had upgraded the equipment and created more job opportunities for future employees.

[@intheair2777]

I agree, the greed of business I guess.

[@Jonathanest90s]

Burbank is my hangout spot.

[@intheair2777]

Yes I like that area as well. Are you near the Warner Ranch? See what they are doing to it? Sad!

[@reneastle8447]

It'll be great to revive the Hanna Barbera studio.

[@intheair2777]

Yes, it looks like the building was turned into apartment living. Though the building it self was saved from DEMO, it was converted. Next time I will go there and see what inside the building is like. I am still searching the location they moved the celluloids to.

[@reneastle8447]

@@intheair2777 That's good to know. Still, if we can get Hanna Barbera studios back in business, we have to raise funds and promote employment programs for animators.

@@intheair2777 Most of the studio was torn down to build the stuff around it. This is apparently just the portion that was preserved. I wish there was more information about the current situation of the remaining studio. I doubt it's really open 24 hours a day, but people reviewing it online seem to be more interested in reminiscing about the cartoons that filling in the details about that. It's kind of a shame, but I'll be a few doors down next week, so I'll probably ask.

[@intheair2777]

@@SmallSpoonBrigade I made this video years ago, shortly after I learned they turned the inside into apartment units. My guess is they re-did the offices with walls and re-did the plumbing. I had planned to go back there and do an update, but first I wanted to find where they moved the celuloide so I could include that too. If you learn anything going there please let me know.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

@@intheair2777 Thanks, I had a feeling that was the case. Still, it's pretty cool that I can see what is still there.

[@gioceja1992]

I hope I’m time your able to broadcast on Disney and Universal studio’s

[@intheair2777]

I will being doing one about Universal Studios soon next year. There is a lot of research for me to do, but i am so happy you asked. As for Disneyland that might happen too but late next year as that has 65 years of life and would be a welcomed challenge. Thanks for the extra work suggestion. lol

[@bw2937]

Where is it that the celloloids are stored?

[@intheair2777]

Last i knew the Sherman Oaks location. I am trying to contact them to see if that is still true.

[@gioceja1992]

Yay!!!!!!

[@intheair2777]

Hahaha That made you happy? I am so happy too. I have another coming.

[@richg1972]

It's not pronounced Hah-Nah, it's pronounced as Hanna like Hannah Montana....get it?

[@intheair2777]

Ok well, thanks for making fun of my European accent, but I'll try harder next time. And thank you for the advice.
