Behind the Scenes: The Making of Atom Ant for Our YouTube Channel


Atom Ant
 
is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran from 1965 to 1966 as a segment under The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show, with a total of 26 episodes airing on NBC. Each episode followed insect superhero, Atom Ant, as fights baddies with the help of his atomic powers
.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, Atom Ant was in the first lineup we did for modeling, we made him as he was part of HB's history, I did all modeling work for the character.

The first Atom Ant story we produced for the channel, titled "Up & At Em'," which was written by me. We likely don't have the original storyboard anymore. The plot followed Atom Ant saving the city from a giant robot. The second story, titled "The Microscopic Hero of Town," which was also written by me, involved Atom Ant teaching a bank robber a lesson. In the final story, "The Menace from Elsewhere," which I also wrote, had Atom Ant stopping a menace from elsewhere.

We are still in the process of writing more Atom Ant stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Atom Ant story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
