Hanna-Barbera properties that need reboots or revivals on HBO Max

[coldglynx]

Well with Jellystone going on HBO Max. What other Hannah Barbera properties that need revivals do you fans would want on HBO Max? Oh and please no more Scooby Doo. That mutt has had more than enough Revivals and Reboots.

These are my top picks

1. Johnny Quest- yes the first and classic HB adventure show. I don't think fans got enough of the Quest crew after Real Adventures ended. We keep getting teased with a Live Action Version that is no where close to happening. So what the heck give us a new reboot please.

2. Swat Kats- One of my favorite HB cartoon from the 90s. Has a bunch of loyal fans still clamoring for revival to this day. It was one of the most action packed North American cartoons I've ever seen. Great characters with some really good villains. Had great anime style animation as well. Would love to have it back.

3. Pirates of Dark Water- My bias for the 1990s HB cartoon continues. What can I say. I loved it when HB started making adult oriented violent shows for kids. We need more of it today. Yeah Pirates was so unique. Blending a Pirate movies with a Dune/Star Wars like world. It was violent and not really for kids at all. Like Swat Kats aniamtion was terrific. Sad that we never saw an end to this interesting series.

4. Hong Kong Phooey- Oh I love this show. Just funny with great work from Shinings own Scatman Crothers. Would love to see a modern adaptation. An underrated IP in my opinion.

5. Laff-Alympics- Seeing most of the comedy HB characters get together to play sports just tickled me. This definitely needs a return.

6. Snorks- Yes I admit it. I enjoyed this blatant Smurfs ripoff very much. Sue me. More than happy to see it come back.

I Agree on Snorks it was one of my favorites and SWAT Kats for sure needs a reboot its so forgotten didn't know it still had a fan base still to this day. I am gonna throw another out there another gem that seems forgotten Road Rovers I know it only got 1 season at 13 episodes but feel it could make a good reboot if given a 2nd chance !

For the record, that's "Jellystone". As for what I'd like, it would be a PROPER revival of "Wacky Races" with ALL of the original characters and cars!

Oh yes Swat Kats still does. They even kickstarted a potential reboot a few years back with the Creators. Though it never got off the ground thanks to WB controlling the rights.

i love Road Rovers that and Freakazoid. Although those are more KidsWB than Hannah Barbera. But since this is my thread and they are all WB IPs. I’ll allow it good choice.

Proper?
Are you talking about the Hannah Barbera Comics that DC released a while back?

He is talking about the 2017 CGI reboot on Boomerang.

Oh I guess I missed that one. Now I’m curious.

I'd love a Pirates of Dark Waters revival/reboot. It had a pretty interesting premise, was pretty engaging and really should have gotten a chance to get a conclusion. I do wonder if it would have attracted more attention if they had premiered the show during the 2000's instead.

Probably not. WB was still more about selling toys back then. Thats why JLU, Teen Titans, and Thundercats were ended. Their toy lines were not big sellers.
Maybe today would be a good time. Considering how hell bent Warnermedia is to boost subscribers to HBO Max.

The HB superheroes could all use live action reboots.

Jonny Quest should have a series on The CW once the film that has been stalling is finally released (the series would pick up where the film left off), with the first season containing a 2-part storyline which serves as a reunion for the MacGyver reboot, featuring actors from that series reprising their roles on that show. Somehow I would also like a crossover with the Magnum PI reboot. These events would establish the live action Quest works as part of the Belisarioverse.

The other HB superheroes should have live action series on HBOmax that are part of the DC TV multiverse.

All of these shows would be co-produced by Greg Berlanti.

now Hanna barbera got revived as a studio in europe

I think its possible they can do revivals or reboots of hanna barbera shows

the revival I wanted is Jonny quest

I'd be interested in seeing an update to Space Ghost--not as a talk show, but as a legitimate superhero series.

 

[Yippee Coyote]

I always thought a modern Ruff & Reddy that's completely reworked could be a clever use of the characters, like the recent comic series.

SWAT Kats should have a reboot. Technically, a mew season picking up where it left off. The action was excellent, and the comic book inspired nature of it, fits in nowadays.

I think politics is holding back Jonny Quest.

Is that a deliberate pun?

 

[Dragnatek]

Why a serialized Johnny Quest with shorter seasons hasn't even been proposed yet I will never know. The show would be a perfect fit for the streaming format.

From what I understand the creators own the rights and have been trying to pitch a reboot for years, are still trying but no one wants it.

Not changing mew to new as I too think it might be intentional and not a typo.

I know right

It's a typo. But MEOW is a good catch.

Maybe WB should approach the SWAT Kats creators about doing a live-action version set in the DC TV Multiverse. Or vice versa.

I want to see other H-B superheroes get HBOmax shows that are set in the DC TV Multiverse - namely Space Ghost, Birdman, The Galaxy Trio, The Impossibles, Mighty Mightor, Atom Ant, Hong Kong Phooey, the Blue Falcon with Dynomutt, and Shazzan.

Hong Kong Phooey would be for instance set on Earth-74, referencing the show's 1974 airdates.

I think they would rather have a universe of Hanna barbera superheroes (expect for super friends since that dc) instead of merging them with dc universe
