Did Magilla Gorilla and Grape Ape ever meet up in any Hanna Barbara cartoon?  
I’ll even take a guest appearance on _Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law_. 😄

Both characters are in the 2021 cartoon series _Jellystone!_, though I’m not sure if they are ever in a scene together.

> **[List of Jellystone! characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jellystone!_characters)**
>
> Jellystone! is an American animated comedy series based on the characters of Hanna-Barbera. Below is a list of characters that appear in the show.
> The Jellystone Detective Agency operates in Jellystone's Detective District which is Jellystone's most black and white part of town.
> These characters appear in town sporadically, but don't seem to have much of a function so far:
> New Bedrock is Jellystone's rival town. The word Bedrock makes a reference to The Flintstones.
