Behind the Scenes: The Making of Precious Pupp for Our YouTube Channel


Precious Pupp
 
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 an elderly lady named Granny Sweet, who owns a dog named Precious Pupp, in which, unknown to Granny Sweet, Precious is actually a neighborhood terror, and often causes trouble for others behind Granny's back
.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, Precious and Granny were in a later lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did all modeling work for the characters.

The first Precious Pupp story we produced for the channel, titled "Such a Precious Dog!," which was written by me. We likely don't have the original storyboard anymore. The plot followed Granny Sweet going to run errands, and Precious scaring off a cat in the window. The second story, titled "Leap For a Bone," which was also written by me, involved Granny Sweet giving Precious a bone, and Precious using the bone to trip a burglar. In the final story, "Watch it, He Bites," which I also wrote, had Precious biting a burglar, and causing him to fall out of the window.

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