Sad news in the animation world today – Mr. Barbera died today. Along with Bill Hanna, Barbera invented some of the biggest cartoon classics: Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound,The Jetsons, The Smurfs, and Scooby-Doo. How can you top that? We at Animax were lucky enough to actually animate Tom & Jerry and Scooby-Doo for a series of DVDs we produced for Warner Bros. and National Geographic.
