HBTV (Hanna-Barbera Television) is a series of animated music videos created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1985 and 1986 featuring clips from various animated Hanna-Barbera programmes. The animated videos were similar to Disney's D-TV and MTV and were originally broadcast as interstitials between segments of the syndicated programming block The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera.
