By 1972, Hanna-Barbera was producing so MANY half-hour shows for all three networks' Saturday morning schedules, they had to "outsource" most of the staff on "WAIT 'TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME" (with a few studio veterans, including Art Davis and Iw(a)o Takamoto, supervising; Harvey Bullock and Ray Allen were writers, not animators; they mostly supervised the stories and soundtracks).
The BBC used to transmit this in the 1970's direct from film,because i seem to remember the picture jumping and they took it off with a caption on the screen 'there has been a breakdown,normal service will resume shortly'!
@philo1978 It's not uncommon for American studios to outsource animation to foreign companies for cheaper labor. Hanna-Barbera outsourced alot of its shows overseas, mostly to Taiwan and Australia.
Today most TV cartoons produced in America (such as Simpsons, Family Guy) are animated in Korea.

Judging by the names in the credits the show was animated in Australia.

Hi again,
I knew that happened today but didn't realise they did that back in the early 70's as well.
Thanks for letting me know.

A lot of those guys in the opening credits were ex WB staffers and or animators with H-B from their early TV or back in their Tom and Jerry days
