Winsome Witch

Winsome Witch is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which aired as a segment on The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show from October 2, 1965 to September 7, 1967. The main character, Winsome "Winnie" W. Witch, has various adventures and casts spells on people; her travels on her magical broom take her all over the world.

Plot
Winnie (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl) is a friendly, yet somewhat inept witch. Her catch phrase when casting a spell is "Ippity-pippity-pow." When the magic spell is cast, the "Jet Screamer" entrance cue from The Jetsons is heard.
