About Jellystone!
Jellystone! was developed by C.H. Greenblatt, the creator of Cartoon Network's Chowder and Nickelodeon's Harvey Beaks. The series will follow the residents of Jellystone as they “live, work, play, and (as is often the case) destroy the city somehow stupid together”.Showrunner C.H. Greenblatt stated that they will dig deep into each character by expanding their personality:
“I grew up watching tons of Hanna-Barbera cartoons and I have a deep love for these characters. The huge amount of classic and non-classic characters that we were able to use from the Hanna-Barbera library is what makes the Jellystone universe truly special! Rather than recreating the cartoon feel of yesteryear, we wanted to have silly and weird fun with these characters and expand their personalities to give them more depth. It is likely that if there is a character you love, eventually you will see him somewhere in this world. We hope longtime fans appreciate our approach to this world, and we're thrilled that parents can introduce and enjoy their favorite Hanna-Barbera characters with their children. "
