How did they get away with it? Wouldn't Hanna Barbara get mad?

Cartoon Network IS Hanna Barbera.

I think Will Hanna was dead, and Joe was too old to care when this came out
Plus the studio folded into Cartoon Network Studios which was originally a subsidiary of HB.

They own all the Hannah Barbara stuff, that's why they were able to use Space Ghost and Birdman and Sealab and all that.

'm pretty sure HB was shut down at this point.

Ahem...
>Hanna-Barbera being CN's major source of animation before CN Studios opened
>Space Ghost Coast to Coast
>both HB and CN being under Time Warner (as is Warner Animation, which explains why so much of the shit they churn out is shown on CN)
>Bill and Joe dead
I don't think Hanna-Barbera either could or wanted to give a fuck back then

Billy & Mandy's treatment of Hanna-Barbera characters was pretty tame compared to some of the Harvey Birdman stuff.

CN Studios is literally what became of Hannah Barbera

In fact the CN studios branding was first used for some what a cartoon shorts and the first season of Dexter's lab before they went back to the Hannah Barbera name for a few years

Hanna-Barbera ceased to exist after Bill's death in 2001.

The best was Animaniacs' parody. The stiff, jerky animation, the painted whoosh lines in place of actual falling or head-shaking, the utter flatness of everything.. which wakko pointed out by rotating the props til their flat edge was at the camera.. then eating them anyway.
