Scooby Doo Where Are You?
This is a snapshot of the original gang. A simple cartoon design with dark backgrounds, and vibrant character colors that Hanna Barbera studios used, as well as other tactics that were cost effective. Characters were designed with the use of fewer details, and consistent main designs. As an example from an earlier cartoon character development, Fred Flintstone, animators employed the use of “fewer cels, or frames per second.” (1)
