In 1957, [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] closed their animation division, and producers [[William Hanna]] and [[Joseph Barbera]] found themselves unemployed. They quickly formed [[Hanna-Barbera|their own company]], and Daws Butler and Don Messick were on-hand to provide voices. The first, ''[[The Ruff & Reddy Show]]'', set the formula for the rest of the series of cartoons that the two would helm until the mid 1960s.
