1994 Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Calendar
1994 was our year to revive The Flintstones. Steven Spielberg was producing a live action movie, Cartoon Network had just launched and was featuring the series, and we had produced a laser disc set of the original episodes with John Kricfalusi and Earl Kress. We asked Drew Hodges and his Spot Design in New York to showcase The Flintstones with the quality we thought they deserved.

1995 Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Calendar
Call me crazy, but I’ve always loved calendars (heaven knows, I never actually use one). And when I got to Hanna-Barbera it seemed they would be a great way to communicate the studio was heralding a new future. Every year we focused on our most important creative and strategic initiatives, and brought a high quality design focus that had never really existed at the studio in the past. Great photography, illustration, and most of all great cartoons would let the world know we were back.
These calendars were distributed to studio employees, and a select list of colleagues, business partners, and friends of the company.

From the introduction:
Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Calendar 1995
1995’s calendar celebrated Hanna-Barbera’s last era as a creative production studio and we’d spent the previous three years preparing. After rebuilding the production system from the ground up for the first time in 20 years, the studio started the ambitious What A Cartoon!/World Premiere Shorts project. Animators across the world were invited to pitch original characters for an original short cartoon completely, creatively supervised by the creator. It was our attempt to go “back to the future” and develop an environment that produced the great cartoon characters of the mid 20th Century. Thousands of storyboards later, we selected 48 shorts to produce and ended up with new classics like The Powerpuff Girls, Cow & Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Dexter’s Laboratory. And solidified the future of the industry’s talent with stars including Genndy Tartakovsky, David Feiss, John Dilworth, and Craig McCraken. Cartoons would never be the same.
I wanted the calendar creative to be as exciting as our studio, so we selected a design style reflecting the revival of the modern rock posters inspired by Frank Kozik. The studio’s Creative Director, Bill Burnett, led his design team to real heights while highlighting twelve of the first shorts released.
