We lose another legend

Joseph Barbera passes away

Such a legend for what we know in animation, what a great shame.

I saw this last night. I was deeply saddened.

I hated all of the Hanna Barbera cartoons except Tom & Jerry. The rest were rubbish.

Man we all gotta go soona or later, Hanna
Barbara marked my childhood, for better or worse......

I didnt realise ho long he was in the toon business. They just dont make toons like that anymore.

And he would\'ve gotten away with it if it wasn\'t for those pesky kids!!

No - I never really liked much except Tom n Jerry... HATED the Flintstones and the Jetsons, but he was surely a huge influence.

I liked them all. Tom and Jerry was a class toon!
Like it or not, theyre all iconic, What a guy!

Even though I enjoyed most of those, Scooby-Doo was my favorite.

Considering what they made years and years ago is still so easily recognizable -and is often parodied in some way - speaks volumes of their genius.

Tom and Jerry great stuff, i used to watch a 3 hour video set every weekend at my Uncles, i used to love it, never got bored of it. And then cartoon network at my grannys the majority of that was all hanna barbera stuff.

Grew up on their toons, never was much of a fan but man... brings back childhood memories. They will be missed, they inspired alot of people in their 60 plus years in animation.

Cheers, but instead of raising a beer to the old Gent, I\'ll just have a Scooby Snack.
