[edit] Early years
Joseph Barbera (originally spelled "Barber=C3=A0" and pronounced barBERA
IPA /ba=CB=9E=C9=B9'b=C9=9B=CB=9E=C9=B9=C9=99/ by colleagues in the "specia=
l features" section
of the Warner Video Tom and Jerry CD collection; the Italian
pronunciation is presumably /ba=C9=BEb=C9=9B'=C9=BEa/) was born in the Litt=
le Italy
section of Manhattan.
[edit] Career
Joseph Barbera started his career as a tailor's delivery boy. During
the Great Depression he tried unsuccessfully to become a magazine
cartoonist for a magazine called The NY Hits Magazine. In 1932 he
joined the Van Beuren Studio as an animator and scriptwriter. He worked
on cartoons such as Cubby Bear, and Rainbow Parades and also co
produced Tom and Jerry. When Van Beuren closed down in 1936, Barbera
moved over to the MGM studios.
Lured by a substantial salary increase, Barbera left Terrytoons and New
York for the new MGM cartoon unit and California in 1937. The following
year he teamed up with William Hanna to direct theatrical short
cartoons; Barbera was the storyboard/layout artist, and Hanna was in
charge of the timing. Their first venture was Puss Gets the Boot
(1940), the first Tom and Jerry film, which was nominated for an
Academy Award for Best (Cartoon) Short Subject.
Hanna and Barbera's 17-year partnership on the Tom & Jerry series
resulted in 7 Academy Awards for Best (Cartoon) Short Subject, and 14
total nominations, more than any other character-based theatrical
animated series. Hanna and Barbera were placed in charge of MGM's
animation division in late 1955; however this was short-lived as MGM
closed the division in 1957. Following this they teamed up to produce
the series The Ruff & Reddy Show, under the company name H-B
Enterprises, soon changed to Hanna-Barbera Productions.
Hanna-Barbera Productions became by the late-1960s the most successful
television animation studio in the business, producing hit television
programs, such as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, and
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! by the end of the decade.
Hanna-Barbera had been a subsidiary of Taft Broadcasting (later Great
American Communications) since 1967. The studio thrived until 1991,
when it was sold to Turner Broadcasting. Hanna and Barbera stayed on as
advisors and periodically worked on new Hanna-Barbera shows, including
the What-a-Cartoon! series.
Hanna-Barbera, received eight Emmys, including the Governors Award of
the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 1988.
Their strengths melded perfectly, critic Leonard Maltin wrote in his
book "Of Mice and Magic: A History of American Animated Cartoons."
Barbera brought the comic gags and skilled drawing, while Hanna brought
warmth and a keen sense of timing.
"This writing-directing team may hold a record for producing
consistently superior cartoons using the same characters year after
year - without a break or change in routine," Maltin wrote.
Hanna, who died in 2001, once said he was never a good artist but his
partner could "capture mood and expression in a quick sketch better
than anyone I've ever known."
After Hanna's death, Barbera had remained active as an executive
producer for Warner Bros. Animation on television series such as What's
New, Scooby-Doo? and Tom and Jerry Tales. He also wrote,
co-storyboarded, co-directed and co-produced the theatrical Tom and
Jerry short The Karateguard in 2005, thus returning to his and Hanna's
first successful cartoon format.
Joseph Barbera died of natural causes at home (Studio City, Los
Angeles), with his wife (Sheila) at his side, on December 18, 2006,
ending a spectacular, over seventy year career in animation. [1]
"From the Stone Age to the Space Age and from primetime to Saturday
mornings, syndication and cable, the characters (Barbera) created with
his late partner, William Hanna, are not only animated superstars, but
also a very beloved part of American pop culture. While he will be
missed by his family and friends, Joe will live on through his work,"
Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Barry Meyer said Monday.
[edit] Death
Joseph died of natural causes at his home with his wife Sheila by his
side on Monday 18th December 2006 (18/12/06). He was 95 years old.
