 | | Hanna-Barbera’s facilities by then were already aimed at producing content for Cartoon Network, which started broadcasting in 1992, and both Bill and Joe directed some new shorts (Joe was said to have most recently co-directed 2000’s new Tom and Jerry Short “The Mansion Cat”, although he was not listed in the credits). |
