Joseph
Barbera (film) - The Jetsons, Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones,
Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and dozens of other
characters
created by the imaginative minds of cartoonists Joseph Barbera (an
Italian-American) and William Hanna
(Scottish-American). Barbera
had been working as an accountant for a New York bank when Collier's
magazine bought
a cartoon he had created.
Inspired by that small success, he
embarked on a career as a cartoonist. After joining MGM,
he met
Hanna and the two collaborated on dozens of animated
shorts and even a number of full-length films. Together Hanna
and Barbera received seven Oscars in the 10-year period that
ended in 1953. The names Hanna and Barbera were joined for
good when
the pair formed Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1957. They have produced
volumes of work still seen on Saturday
mornings everywhere.
