===Voice work for Hanna-Barbera and others=== In 1960, after the expiration of his exclusive contract with Warner Bros., Blanc continued working for them, but also began providing voices for the TV cartoons produced by [[Hanna-Barbera]]; his roles during this time included [[Barney Rubble]] of ''[[The Flintstones]]'' and [[List of The Jetsons characters#Mr. Spacely|Cosmo Spacely]] of ''The Jetsons''. His other voice roles for Hanna-Barbera included [[Dino (The Flintstones)|Dino the Dinosaur]], [[Secret Squirrel]], [[Speed Buggy]], and [[Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels|Captain Caveman]], as well as voices for ''[[Wally Gator]]'' and ''[[The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]''. Blanc also worked with former ''Looney Tunes'' director Chuck Jones, who by this time was directing shorts with his own company Sib Tower 12 (later [[MGM Animation/Visual Arts]]), doing vocal effects for the ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' series from 1963 to 1967. Blanc was the first voice of [[Toucan Sam]] in [[Froot Loops]] commercials. Blanc reprised some of his Warner Bros. characters when the studio contracted him to make [[DePatie-Freleng Enterprises|new theatrical cartoons]] in the mid- to late 1960s. For these, Blanc voiced Daffy Duck and [[Speedy Gonzales]], the characters who received the most frequent use in these shorts (later, newly introduced characters such as Cool Cat and Merlin the Magic Mouse were voiced by [[Larry Storch]]). Blanc also continued to voice the ''Looney Tunes'' for the bridging sequences of ''[[The Bugs Bunny Show]]'', as well as in numerous animated advertisements and several compilation features, such as ''[[The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie]]'' (1979). He also voiced [[Granny (Looney Tunes)|Granny]] on [[Peter Pan Records]] in ''4 More Adventures of Bugs Bunny'' (1974) and ''Holly-Daze'' (1974), in place of [[June Foray]],<ref name="Christmas Records">{{cite web|url=https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/bugs-bunnys-high-fructose-christmas-record/|title=Bugs Bunny's High-Fructose Christmas Record|website=Cartoon Research|language=en-US|access-date=2018-08-06}}</ref> and replaced the late [[Arthur Q. Bryan]] as [[Elmer Fudd]]'s voice during the post-golden age era.
