Laurel and Hardy is a 1966–1967 American animated television series and an updated version of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's comedic acts by the animation studio Hanna-Barbera and Larry Harmon Productions.[2] Harmon had been developing the series since 1961, while Stan Laurel was still alive, although Laurel had very little involvement.[3][4]
A total of 156 shorts were made, each having its own opening and closing wrap-arounds, to make them easy to air in syndication. As Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel had died in 1957 and 1965 respectively, Jim MacGeorge provided the voice of Ollie, while Harmon voiced Stan.[5] They would later reprise their roles in an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
The majority of the cartoons usually ended with Stanley whimpering in a high register whenever things went wrong for the both of them, as they were running away after causing the damages to their situations.
