On 7 April 2021, it was announced that the studio had re-branded as Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe,[2] paying tribute to the original American studio, founded by renowned animators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera on 7 July 1957.[5] The Hanna-Barbera name had previously been revived on some Warner Bros. Animation series and films based on the classic franchises, including Scooby-Doo media, like The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!, Wacky Races, and Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs. Future plans for the studio have yet to be announced, however.[2] The first projects to be greenlit under the new name were a new series and a movie relating to The Amazing World of Gumball.[6]
