Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. was an American animation studio, founded in 1957 by former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors and Tom and Jerry creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, in partnership with film director George Sidney.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
Hanna-Barbera was first represented in the Parade in 1978, with walk-around versions of some of its most famous characters such as Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, and Yogi Bear. In 1982 a float called "Heidi's Song" debuted to promote the animated movie release around that time. By 1983, a new float known as "A Hanna-Barbera Christmas" debuted with Yogi Bear as their special guest, and like the previous float, it was retired after its debut. In 1984, another new float debuted which was named "Scooby-Doo's Birthday". This float was retired after the 1984 procession, and all three of the floats haven't been seen since, being disposed of sometime after.
