The late 1980s and 1990s saw huge changes in the Saturday-morning landscape. By now, the once-prosperous Hanna-Barbera Productions was beleaguered by several factors. First of all, its dominance over the networks' schedules was broken by other studios' shows. Second, when "The Smurfs" was cancelled by NBC in 1990, Hanna-Barbera had no other hits on the air. Finally, its ability to successfully exploit older characters like "The Flintstones" and "Scooby-Doo" with new shows was coming to an end; "Scooby-Doo" would end a near-continuous 22-year first-run after its most recent juniorized version, "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", ended its run in 1991. The 1990 theatrical release of "" was a success for the fading studio and earned $20 million ($ in today's dollars). In 1987, Great American Insurance Company owner Carl Lindner Jr. became the majority shareholder of Hanna-Barbera's parent company, Taft Broadcasting, renaming it Great American Communications.
