Cartoon Network Studios, the successor to Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., is an American animated cartoon production company following in the footsteps of Hanna-Barbera, creators of animated television and motion picture releases for over forty years. A subsidiary of the Turner Entertainment arm of the Time-Warner media conglomerate, Cartoon Network Studios focuses on producing and developing animated programs for and related to the Cartoon Network and Kids' WB!.
The studio began in 1998 as a subsidiary of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons which was dedicated to producing original programming for the Cartoon Network, including latter-day Hanna-Barbera creations such as Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls. After H-B co-founder William Hanna died in 2001, the Hanna-Barbera name was retired, and the H-B studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation. Meanwhile, Cartoon Network Studios was extracted from Hanna-Barbera and made its own entity. The studio has continued to thrive with new productions such as The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Samurai Jack, and Kids Next Door.
