Behind the Scenes: The Making of Speed Buggy for Our YouTube Channel


Speed Buggy
 
is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran in 1973, with a total of 16 episodes airing on ABC. Taking partial inspersion from the 1968 Disney film, The Love Buggy, auto mechanic, Tinker, and his friends, Mark and Debbie, build a talking racecar named Speed Buggy, in which, most
episode had them either entering in races, or traveling the country, as well as also finding themselves in trouble with some kind of villain, and would have to stop their evil plan. It was one of many attempts by Hanna-Barbera to recreate the success of the Scooby-Doo franchise.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, the entire cast were in a later lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did modeling work for Speed Buggy.

The first Speed Buggy story we produced for the channel, titled "A Voom-a-Zoom-Zoom," which was written by me. The plot followed the gang going after some bank robbers. The second story, titled "The Race to the Finish," which wasn't written by me, involved Speed Buggy winning the race again. In the final story, "Hold on There Speedy!," which was written by me, had Speed Buggy and Tinker finding clues to track down a bandit.

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