These days, every studio is scrambling to build their own franchise of interconnected films a la Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. But Warner Brothers is actually looking to build two. In addition to their DC Comics Extended Universe, of which Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice<\/strong> is the latest installment, the studio has announced their intentions to use the 2018 Scooby Doo movie S.C.O.O.B.<\/strong> as the cornerstone of an interconnected series of movies featuring characters from the Hannah Barbera animation studio stable.<\/p>\n

This week at CinemaCon, the Warner Brothers Warner Animation Group unveiled the plan in the midst of their presentation sizzle reel describing S.C.O.O.B<\/strong> as “our first shot at unlocking the whole Hanna-Barbera Universe.”<\/p>\n

For those who don’t follow animation close enough to know what studio produces what, Hannah Barbera’s prestigious output ranges from The Flintstones<\/em>, The Jetsons<\/em>, Yogi Bear<\/em> and Jonny Quest<\/strong> to series like Wacky Races<\/em>, Sealab 2020<\/em>, Clue Club<\/em> and Jabberjaw<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This wouldn’t be the first time that Hannah-Barbera characters have crossed over from one series to another. In the 1970s there was a Saturday morning cartoon series titled Laff-A-Lympics<\/em>, a spoof of both the Olympics and ABC’s Battle Of The Network Stars<\/em> specials, in which the characters competed against each other. What can I say? It was the ’70s, man.<\/p>\n

The presentation did not elaborate on the plan or even mention what other characters could be a part of it. The announcement comes with a bit of corporate synergy as fellow Warners company DC Comics recently announced a new line of comics featuring modernized versions of many classic Hannah-Barbera characters including Scooby Doo, The Flintsones and Johnny Quest.<\/p>\n
