I don't know about cheaper cartoons such as those done by Hanna & Barbera, but modern animation done here in the US is almost always done with the voice acting first and the animation to match.

I've always thought the Japanese were crazy to do it the other way around, because it never allows for any spontaneity or changes in the plotting when you hear the lines. Still, I bet it makes for very precise voice actors in Japan.
