"Captain Planet" was a close one, but I guessed correctly that they meant not H-B. DiC did indeed produce the show at the start for TBS, but after Turner Broadcasting bought Hanna-Barbera, the show eventually switched hands to H-B in 1993.
Since the question asked "Who *brought* the world Captain Planet?" I surmised that they meant who produced the show at its premiere. Glad I guessed correctly! :)

8/16 meh lol
A lot of the Filmation shows are easy to identify just from the sheer amount of stock footage that was re-used in every episode. H-B at least tried not get too repetitious with their visuals (their CONCEPTS, on the other hand, are a different story).
Remember also in "The Brady Kids" Filmation used the same animation pattern that made the kids move like the Archies whenever they played a song? Of course, they had to add in Cindy, who was playing a guitar.
My favourite is Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes
I like those too!
15/16...#10 was wrong for me. Still not bad.
13/16. Mostly because of Boomerang from Cartoon Network (it's all coming back to you)
I thought I knew my H-B cartoons. 14 out of 16 right.
I got 15 out of 16, but The Berenstain Bears is a trick question. It was not Hanna-Barbera. It was only licensed by them from Southern Star Productions (then called Hanna-Barbera Australia, when both were owned by Taft Broadcasting.) A technicality but a fact. Not one HB animator touched those shows. So I really got 16 out of 16. METV knows less than I do about this subject. I was Daws Butler's protege, wrote the book Daws Butler, Characters Actor, and was personal friends with Joe Barbera.
14 for 16. Missed Captain Planet and Berenstain Bears, neither of which I watched much
11 out of 16. Wow!
16/16 just looking at the animation style did.
12/16. Thought I would do better.
10 out of 16 not too bad 🤔
12/16 Me. 6/16 Mrs. “Sore Loser” Should she take me to Chili’s or Glory Days
10/16. Not bad since most were guesses.
Oops, 10...guess I wasn’t always paying attention to that.
13 out of 16.
Oh, I got 16/16 the first time around, but there a couple of questions that could trap folks. While the Berenstain Bears series was animated by Hanna-Barbera Australia (now Southern Star), the original animated specials were produced by Perpetual Motion Pictures. Also, there has been a recent revival series that aired on PBS in 2003 that was produced by Nelvana and AGOGO Entertainment. The answer for the Captain Planet answer was correct, but Hanna-Barbera did produce episodes of that series from 1993-1996.
I'm sorry. I'm a cartoon nerd. Been studying the history for decades.
