What if Universal bought Hanna-Barbera?


 * Note: this is based on What if Universal bought Hanna-Barbera instead of Turner?, but with different version.

We all know that Turner Broadcasting System outbid MCA (then-parent company of Universal Pictures), Hallmark Cards and other major companies in acquiring Hanna-Barbera while also purchasing Ruby-Spears as well.

MCA/Universal had a theme park license from Hanna-Barbera which includes walkaround characters at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida and the ride The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera at Universal Studios Florida and also co-produced Jetsons: The Movie (as well as co-producing with Amblin Entertainment on the two live-action Flintstones films). What if MCA/Universal successfully bought Hanna-Barbera, its characters and its library (including the pre-1991 Ruby-Spears cartoons) from Great American Communications instead of Turner Broadcasting System?
