Forums - Movies & TV - Hanna-Barbera is getting its own Cinematic Universe

While we’ve known for some time that Warner Bros. had a Scooby-Doo reboot planned for 2018, we learned much more about the project at CinemaCon 2016. One big revelation is that the movie will be titled S.C.O.O.B., and that it’ll launch a whole new wave of potentially interlocking Hanna-Barbera movies. Yes, that’s right — Warner Bros. is planning a Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe.

How this will work was not explained, as we were only shown a brief glimpse of concept art featuring Scooby-Doo and some sketches of other Hanna-Barbera characters. The exact quote used in a much longer over-arching WAG sizzle reel was that the film will be “our first shot at unlocking the whole Hanna-Barbera Universe.”

Other Hanna-Barbera properties include The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, The Jetsons, The Smurfs, Top Cat, Jonny Quest, Wacky Races, Sealab 2020, and many other cartoons, although some of those, like the Smurfs, are owned elsewhere and obviously couldn’t be part of this cinematic universe. There’s also the question of if and how they might cross over, considering they all take place in different settings and time periods. Aside from S.C.O.O.B., the studio has not announced release dates for any of other Hanna-Barbera movies.

Oprah: "You get a cinematic universe and you get a cinematic universe!"



Oh gosh...

Blame Disney/Marvel for starting this current trend.
And add in Hollywoods complete lack of creativity nowadays...

You get a cinematic universe of cinematic universes!

A Wacky Races movie could be very funny if done right, but I fail to see how they can possibly make a Magilla Gorilla or Atom Ant movie, for example.

I'd love this.



I don't know how to feel about this. I love those cartoons, but no doubt they'll do live action versions that go against the source material. A cinematic universe could work, but only if they were handled with care. At least I think it could, kids these days never saw these great cartoon like us, so it would be nice for them to see them.

Ugh, why do they have to keep trying to force things together? Why can't franchises just stand by themselves anymore?

Because Marvel did a great job with theirs, so everyone needs to do one, even if in large it does not work. 



 

If the Universal monsters can have its own cinematic universe, so can anyone else. I'm sure if we ask to the admins here, we could make the VGCinematic Universe.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
