In 1992, Turner launched the [[Cartoon Network]], which had been built around reruns from the Hanna-Barbera and the [[Turner Entertainment Co.]] cartoon libraries (pre-1986 [[MGM Cartoons|MGM]], [[Warner Bros. Cartoons|pre-1948 WB]], and [[Associated Artists Productions]] cartoons). The same year in 1994, Turner turned Hanna-Barbera towards primarily producing new material for its Cartoon Network when [[Cartoon Network Studios]] was organized as a division of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.

On October 10, 1996, Turner was bought out by Time Warner (now [[Warner Bros. Discovery]]). Following William Hanna's death in 2001, Hanna-Barbera was folded into [[Warner Bros. Animation]], and Cartoon Network Studios became a separate company and assumed production of Cartoon Network's output. Joe Barbera remained with Warner Bros. Animation until his death in 2006.
On October 10, 1996, Turner was bought out by Time Warner (now [[Warner Bros. Discovery]]). Ten days before William Hanna's death in 2001, Hanna-Barbera was folded into [[Warner Bros. Animation]], and Cartoon Network Studios became a separate company and assumed production of Cartoon Network's output. Joe Barbera remained with Warner Bros. Animation until his death in 2006.


Up until 2017, Hanna-Barbera still survived as an in-name-only unit of Warner Bros. Animation for distribution and marketing of properties and productions associated with Hanna-Barbera's "classic" works. However, not all cartoons co-produced by Hanna-Barbera are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, such as the following: ''Jeannie'' and ''The Partridge Family 2200 A.D.'' ([[Sony Pictures Television]]), ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang'', ''Laverne & Shirley in the Army'', ''Amigo and Friends'', ''The Little Rascals: The Animated Series'', and the 1970 ''Harlem Globetrotters'' cartoon ([[CBS Studios]]/[[CBS Media Ventures]]), ''Gravedale High,'' the international rights to ''Midnight Patrol: Adventures in the Dream Zone,'' and the 1978 ''Godzilla'' cartoon ([[NBCUniversal Television Distribution|NBCUniversal Television]]), ''Capitol Critters'' ([[20th Century Fox Television (1994-2020)|20th Century Fox Television]]/[[20th Television]] and later [[Disney Entertainment Distribution|Disney Platform Distribution]]), ''Pink Panther and Sons,'' ''The Adventures of Sinbad Jr.'', and ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures'' (first season co-produced by H-B and the second season was co-produced by [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] and [[MGM Television]]), ''Benji, Zax & the Alien Prince'' ([[Mulberry Square Productions]]), and most of the theatrical library. Warner Bros. has no rights whatsoever to any of the productions listed. As stated below, the name would be revived in said year.
