Warner Archive has announced a new collector’s item with a complete release of The Huckleberry Hound Show, scheduled for August 26, 2025. This will be an 11 disc set featuring new, remastered footage of the original episodes. Check out artwork for the cover as well as the official description for the release complete with special features listed, below in the article.
The Huckleberry Hound Show originally aired between 1958-1961 and was basically the first big TV animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera. As most probably already know, it starred the titular Huckleberry Hound in a variety of roles, ranging from cowboy in the old West, to a postman in the then present days. Back-up cartoons like Pixie & Dixie and Yogi Bear were also included. Yogi in fact became a break-out star of sorts, and got his own show in 1961, with Hokey Wolf taking his place as the third cartoon on Huck Hound’s show. Obviously, many of these Hanna-Barbera characters have surfaced in various other cartoons throughout the decades, with the Jellystone! animated series from HBO Max perhaps being the most recent example.
Here’s the official description for the release, courtesy of Warner Archive.

Rediscover one of the most beloved good ol’ hound dogs ever in this comprehensive anthology of Hanna-Barbera’s landmark animated series THE HUCKLEBERRY HOUND SHOW. This complete collection presents all 68 half-hour episodes – following studio broadcast records as a guide – as originally aired during the series’ four seasons on television. Meticulously restored from 4K scans of original 35mm negatives, everyone’s favorite blue hound dog never looked better. The cool canine charmed early TV audiences with his unique personality, a slow southern drawl and fast wit that’ll win over audiences of all ages. Viewers also got familiar with Pixie and Dixie (and nemesis Mr. Jinks the cat, who hated meeses to pieces”) and future icons Yogi Bear and sidekick Boo Boo, as well as later shows which introduced the irrepressible Hokey Wolf, all of whom starred in their own segments.

To faithfully present these episodes as originally aired, you’ll be able to enjoy each show containing original bumpers and bridges, as well as rarely seen vintage commercials featuring the characters from the series. A timeless tribute to the talents at Hanna-Barbera, including voice artists Daws Butler and Don Messick, this new collection enables you to experience the adventures of Huck, Yogi and their pals just as they first burst on the television scene decades ago, and proving that their animated hi-jinks remain as clever and entertaining as ever.”
The original Huckleberry Hound cartoons can still be seen on TV these days thanks to channels focusing, more or less, on classic animation, like Boomerang or MeTV Toons. But a complete collection of remastered episodes is something unique that collectors can look forward to purchasing.
