What company produced the 1982 Pac-Man animated TV series?

The company that produced the 1982 Pac-Man animated TV series was Hanna-Barbera Productions.

The American series adapted Namco’s arcade character into a Saturday-morning cartoon for ABC. It premiered on September 25, 1982, and ran for 44 episodes across two seasons, ending in 1983. The show was executive-produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the animation-industry team behind the company.

Its story expanded Pac-Man’s world far beyond the maze. Pac-Man lived in Pac-Land with his wife Pepper, their child Pac-Baby, and pets Chomp-Chomp and Sour Puss. The recurring antagonists were the Ghost Monsters, including Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue, who pursued the family and their supply of Power Pellets.

The program is sometimes confused with Filmation, Ruby-Spears, or DIC because all three produced prominent American cartoons during the same era. Hanna-Barbera’s Pac-Man was notable as the first television cartoon based on a video game, and its success directly influenced later Pac-Man games.
