Let´s talk about the computerized coloring system Hanna-Barbera used in the 1980s including its history, the technical aspects of the system, and even an example of the process of coloring an animation frame. This early use of digital ink-and-paint (which was still uncommon at the time) fascinated me therefore I was glad to find an article about it.

A few examples of Hanna-Barbera productions that used this coloring system included Smurfs, Snorks, Flintstones Kids, Yogi's Treasure Hunt, the Opening scene of Popeye and Son, The Jetsons revival, and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. When the '90s began, I believe H-B journeyed back to their original hand-painted coloring method and computer coloring system examples of BRB International S.A. from Spain such as Sandokan (1992) and Willy Fog 2 (1993).

This seems more fitting in Saturday Morning Forever!, so I moved this thread there.

Discussing the old Hanna-Barbera animation studio's is one thing, but plagiarism from another website is another. Consider this thread locked.

Today marks the 40th Year Anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Franchise. While I had some of the toys and seen bits & pieces of the first 2 animated shows as a kid, the 2012 Series was the 1st installment I saw from start to end.

I still feel The Casagrandes was a slipshod clone of The Loud House that didn't need to exist, but I have to admit its theme song is catchy. It's a bouncy little earworm.
there are many parts of my childhood I wish I could erase from my memories. so much bullying. I was mentally, emotionally and physically traumatized. really, my current personality is me trying to reclaim that part of my life.
Since it's May the Fourth, might as well post this bit of trivia:

DePatie–Freleng Enterprises- known for The Pink Panther, mid-60s Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, many Dr. Seuss specials, The Bod Squad, and Time for Timer- handled the lightsaber effects for Episode IV.
