After H-B co-founder William Hanna died in 2001, the Hanna-Barbera name was retired as a production entity and the H-B studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation, and Cartoon Network Studios made a separate entity from Hanna-Barbera. The studio has continued to thrive with productions such as "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" and "Samurai Jack" and newer productions such as "Chowder" and "Ben 10".
