Joe Barbera one of the Team Members of Hanna Barbera died on Monday of natural causes at his home with his wife Sheila at his side, Warner Bros. spokesman Gary Miereanu said.
Joe Barbera with his Partner Bill Hanna (1910-2001) created an empire of animated cartoons and never ending tales of the beloved “Tom And Jerry, Yogi Bear , Top Cat, Huckle berry hound and friends” immortalized by Cartoon Network (1993-Infinity)
The Kids of this gen probably dont even remember Yogi Bear and Top Cat and co. With Japanese Anime taking over original cartoons and animation of the 90’s. Things change…But I see no reason why we shouldnt remember the great Hanna And Barbera movement!
“It was a family comedy with everyday situations and problems that we window-dressed with gimmicks and inventions,” Barbera once said. “Our stories were such a contrast to many of the animated series that are straight destruction and blasting away for a solid half-hour.”
Thats him….Joe Barbera
…the third last great guy who made commerical animation and great art at the same time.
Hanna And Barbera
