Variety reports that Warner Bros. are developing a new Scooby-Doo feature film - an animated one, as opposed to the live-action/CG hybrid films of the early 2000s. The film is apparently being made with Atlas Entertainment, and being produced by Charles Roven (Man of Steel) and Richard Suckle (American Hustle), who both also produced the aforementioned live-action films starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Matt Lieberman (the upcoming Short Circuit) is scripting.

Watch: Cartoon Network 20th Birthday - Music Video

The 1st October was the 20th Birthday of Cartoon Network. The home of some of my most loved show as a kid: Dexter's Lab, The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Kids Next Door, this was the channel for any cartoon loving kid - or teenager, or grown-up...

Check out this great music video made for the occasion (above) showering us with character after character. Say what you may about the channel's current output, but there are very few characters in this video that I don't love.

Bitesized Biographies #4 - William Hanna

A few weeks ago we ran a poll on our Facebook page asking you who you wanted our next Bitesized Biography to be about, the results were a 50/50 split between the two halves of Hanna-Barbera: William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Hanna-Barbera, not that I need explain as I'm pretty sure everyone has seen some of their shows at some point in their lives - or you've led a deprived childhood - was the animation studio that created some of the most famed and beloved cartoon series of all time. The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Top Cat and Wacky Races are just some of the huge shows that Hanna-Barbera churned out during their over 30 year history, as well as later helping create shows like Dexter's Laboratory for Cartoon Network.

So to follow the order that the studio's name suggests, we're starting our poll influenced Bitesized Biographies with William Hanna.
