Animation Legend Joseph Barbera dies at 95
Tuesday, December 19th, 2006The animation legend Joe Barbera died today at the age of 95. He was the founder of the Hanna-Barbera animation studio which has been responsible for so many of our childhood favorites, including “Scooby-Doo,” “The Flintstone’s” and “Tom & Jerry.” And of course one of my all-time favorites, “Johnny Quest!”
The work from this studio is still an influence in the animation industry. Not only are feature films being made of his characters but there are a number of spoofs as well, such as “Itchy and Scratchy” and “The Venture Brothers.”
