arab_freak Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/18/barbera.ap/index.html "Joe Barbera, half of the Hanna-Barbera animation team that produced such beloved cartoon characters as Tom and Jerry, Yogi Bear and the Flintstones, died Monday, a Warner Bros. spokesman said. He was 95." 95?:shock: He's had one hell of a life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfox Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Read this early this morning and was a little saddened. Think of some of the best early cartoons made, and he probably helped make them. Rest in Piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monopolyman Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I always thought he was dead for some time, but as he had just died now, it is still a bit sad. R.I.P. The Flintstones was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 What a wonderful life Joe led, bringing such wonderful ideas and characters to life in animation. He'll be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyellowbloke Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 He created Tom and Jerry and therefore gets my absolute respect. He seems to have led a pretty awesome life, doing a great job and had pretty good innings, which makes me admire him all the more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanman Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 And Yogi Bear, it says at the top. The Flinstones were never as good as tom and jerry, although I did like them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solitanze Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Great cartoons, ahead of their time, watch them all the time on PAY TV. The Flintstones was the Barberas crowning achievement, longest running cartoon ever until the Simpsons surpassed it. The Jetsons doesn't look a cartoon that was produced over 40 years ago...

Rummy Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Well, all I can say is that this guy brought me alot of my childhood enjoyment, I pretty much lived off HB cartoons, they were pretty much all that was shown! I remember the little swirling star at the end too lol. Glad to hear he had a nice long life though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
