A finale chapter of our survey of robots receiving star treatment in Hollywood and international animated features.
In our final phase upon the subject of automatons in animation, we move back to the silver screen, for an “upgrade” into feature films.
A final group of odds and ends, as we attempt to wrap up coverage of TV animated robots in this installment.
We clean up the subject of robotic output from Cartoon Network, as well as a few goodies that aired on Kids W-B.
Some random ramblings about radical robots, some from network, some from prime time, and some from Saturday syndication.
Robots in 1980s and 90s Hanna Barbera cartoons.

Focus this week is on two studios who more or less got in on the ground floor of the 80’s-90’s animation resurgence.
The 70’s were a decidedly fallow period for robots, with Hanna-Barbera still primarily in command of the airwaves.
Time to close out the prolific 60’s, and move on.
