Behind the Scenes: The Making of Shake, Rattle and Roll for Our YouTube Channel

Shake, Rattle and Roll is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran in 1977 as a segment under CB Bears, with a total of 13 episodes airing on NBC. Each episode followed a trio of ghosts named Shake, Rattle and Roll, who run an abandoned hotel full of kooks and spooks, called the Haunted Inn.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, the trio and Sidney Merciless were in later lineups 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 Shake, Rattle and Roll story we produced for the channel, titled "Spooking the Scary Ghost," which was written by me. I don't know if we still have the original storyboard. The plot followed Shake, Rattle and Roll cleaning up the Haunted Inn for the guests. The second story, titled "The Spookiest Show You've Ever Seen," which also was written by me, involved Shake, Rattle and Roll preparing breakfast for the guests. In the final story, "The Spooky Mansion at Which We Live," which again was written by me, had Shake, Rattle and Roll take the guests' orders.

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