Wildfire was a series followed the adventures of Sara, a 13-year-old girl growing up in the American West, as she discovers her true identity as a princess-in-hiding from another realm for CBS-TV.

Foofur was a big, blue dog, who occupied his late master's mansion without human supervision. He did have lots of canine friends, whom he sprang from the local pound, living with him, which debuted for NBC-TV.

Jonny Quest returned as part of Hanna-Barbera's Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera as The New Adventures of Jonny Quest.

H-B also unveiled their new CGI Swirling Star, which stayed in town at various points in the late '80s-early '90s, returning in 1998 and stuck around until 2001.

Also, most of H-B's shows all began using computerized animation from here on out.
