Joseph Roland Barbera (/[invalid input: 'icon']bɑːrˈbɛrə/ bar-BERR-ə; March 24, 1911 – December 18, 2006) was an influential American animator, director, producer, storyboard artist, and cartoon artist, whose film and television cartoon characters entertained millions of fans worldwide for much of the twentieth century.

Through his young adult years, Barbera lived, attended college, and began his career in New York City. After working odd jobs and as a banker, Barbera joined Van Beuren Studios in 1932 and subsequently Terrytoons in 1936. In 1937, he moved to California and while working at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Barbera met William Hanna. The two men began a collaboration that was at first best known for producing Tom and Jerry and live action films. In 1957, after MGM dissolved their animation department, they co-founded Hanna-Barbera, which became the most successful television animation studio in the business, producing programs such as The Flintstones, The Huckleberry Hound Show, Top Cat, Scooby-Doo, The Quick Draw McGraw Show, Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, Wacky Races, and The Jetsons. In 1967, Hanna-Barbera was sold to Taft Broadcasting for $12 million, but Hanna and Barbera remained head of the company until 1991. At that time, the studio was sold to Turner Broadcasting System, which in turn was merged with Time Warner, owners of Warner Bros., in 1996; Hanna and Barbera stayed on as advisors.

Hanna and Barbera won seven Academy Awards and eight Emmy Awards. Their cartoon shows have become cultural icons, and their cartoon characters have appeared in other media such as films, books, and toys. Hanna-Barbera's shows had a global audience of over 300 million people in the 1960s and have been translated into more than 20 languages.

Personal life

Joseph Barbera was born at 10 Delancey Street in the Little Italy (Lower East Side) section of Manhattan, New York,[1] to immigrants Vincent Barbera and Frances Calvacca, of Sicilian descent, and he grew up speaking Italian.[2]: 17–18, 58, 128, 208 [3][4] His family moved to Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York when he was four months old.[2]: 17–18, 58 [5] He had two younger brothers, Larry and Ted, both of whom served in World War II. As a member of the United States Army, Larry participated in the invasion of Sicily. Ted was a fighter pilot with the United States Army Air Forces and served in the Aleutian Islands Campaign.[2]: 91–95  Barbera's father, Vincent, was the prosperous owner of three barbershops who squandered the family fortunes on gambling.[2]: 19  By the time Barbera was 15, his father had abandoned the family and his maternal uncle Jim became a father figure to him.[2]: 22–24 

Barbera displayed a talent for drawing as early as the first grade.[2]: 25–26  He graduated from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn in 1928.[2]: 23 [6] While in high school, Barbera won several boxing titles. He was briefly managed by World Lightweight Boxing Champion Al Singer's manager but soon lost interest in boxing.[2]: 30–32  In 1935, Barbera married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Earl. In school, they had been known as "Romeo and Juliet".[2]: 28 

Barbera and his wife briefly separated when he went to California. They reunited but were on the verge of another separation when they discovered that Dorothy was pregnant with their first child. The marriage officially ended in 1963.[2]: 58, 61, 66, 90, 129  Shortly after his divorce, Barbera met his second wife, Sheila Holden, at Musso & Frank's restaurant, where she worked as bookkeeper and cashier. Unlike Dorothy, who had preferred to stay at home with the children, Sheila enjoyed the Hollywood social scene that Barbera often frequented.[2]: 137–139, 147 [7]

Career

Early career

During high school, Barbera worked as a tailor's delivery boy.[2]: 28  During the Great Depression, he tried unsuccessfully to become a cartoonist for a magazine called The NY Hits Magazine. He supported himself with a job at a bank, and continued to pursue publication for his cartoons. His magazine drawings of single cartoons, not comic strips, began to be published in Redbook, Saturday Evening Post, and Collier's—the magazine with which he had the most success.[2]: 35–36  Barbera also wrote to Walt Disney for advice on getting started in the animation industry.[8]: 105  Disney wrote back, saying he would call Barbera during an upcoming trip to New York, but the call never took place.[2]: 38 [9]

Barbera took art classes at the Art Students League of New York and the Pratt Institute and was hired to work in the ink and paint department of Fleischer Studios. In 1932, he joined the Van Beuren Studios as an animator and storyboard artist.[2]: 38–42  He worked on cartoon series such as Cubby Bear and Rainbow Parades, and Tom and Jerry. This Tom and Jerry series starred two humans; it was unrelated to Barbera's later cat-and-mouse series. When Van Beuren closed down in 1936, Barbera moved over to Paul Terry's Terrytoons studio.[2]: 53–54 

Film

Lured by a substantial salary increase, Barbera left Terrytoons and New York for the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) cartoon unit in California in 1937.[2]: 58–59 [8]: 106  He found that Los Angeles was suffering just as much from the Great Depression as Brooklyn and almost returned to Brooklyn.[2]: 201 

Barbera's desk was opposite that of William Hanna. The two quickly realized they would make a good team.[10]: Foreword  By 1939, they had solidified a partnership that would last 60 years.[11][12] Barbera and Hanna worked alongside animator Tex Avery, who had created Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny for Warner Bros. and directed Droopy cartoons at MGM.[10]: 33 [13]: 18 

File:TomandJerryTitleCardc.jpg
Joseph Barbera first worked at MGM, as one of the directors of the Tom and Jerry shorts.

In 1940, Hanna and Barbera jointly directed Puss Gets the Boot, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best (Cartoon) Short Subject.[14][15] The studio wanted a diversified cartoon portfolio, so despite the success of Puss Gets the Boot, Barbera and Hanna's supervisor, Fred Quimby, did not want to produce more cat and mouse cartoons believing that there were already enough cartoons of those in existence.[2]: 75–76  Surprised by the success of Puss Gets the Boot, Barbera and Hanna ignored Quimby's resistance[10]: 45  and continued developing the cat-and-mouse theme. By this time, however, Hanna wanted to return to working for Ising, to whom he felt very loyal. Barbera and Hanna met with Quimby, who discovered that although Ising had taken sole credit for producing Puss Gets the Boot, he never actually worked on it. Quimby then gave Hanna and Barbera permission to pursue their cat-and-mouse idea. The result was their most famous creation, Tom and Jerry.[2]: 78–79 

Modeled after the Puss Gets the Boot characters with slight differences, the series followed Jerry, the pesky rodent who continuously outwitted his feline foe, Tom.[16][17] Hanna said they settled on the cat and mouse theme for this cartoon because "we knew we needed two characters. We thought we needed conflict, and chase and action. And a cat after a mouse seemed like a good, basic thought."[18] The revamped characters first appeared in 1941's The Midnight Snack.[10]: 46  Over the next 17 years, Barbera and Hanna worked exclusively on Tom and Jerry,[14] directing more than 114 popular cartoon shorts.[19] During World War II, they also made animated training films.[2]: 92–93  Tom and Jerry relied mostly on motion instead of dialog.[12] Despite its popularity, Tom and Jerry has often been criticized as excessively violent.[20]: 42 [21]: 134  Nonetheless, the series won its first Academy Award for the 11th short, The Yankee Doodle Mouse (1943)—a war-time adventure.[16] Tom and Jerry was ultimately nominated for 14 Academy Awards, winning 7.[22] No other character-based theatrical animated series has won more awards, nor has any other series featuring the same characters.[11][23] Tom and Jerry also made guest appearances in several of MGM's live-action films, including Anchors Aweigh (1945) and Invitation to the Dance (1956) with Gene Kelly, and Dangerous When Wet (1953) with Esther Williams.[23][24][25]

Quimby accepted each Academy Award for Tom and Jerry without inviting Barbera and Hanna onstage. The cartoons were also released with Quimby listed as the sole producer, following the same practice for which he had condemned Ising.[2]: 83–84  Quimby once delayed a promised raise to Barbera by six months .[2]: 82  When Quimby retired in late 1955, Hanna and Barbera were placed in charge of MGM's animation division.[9][11] As the studio began to lose more revenue due to television,[26][27] MGM soon realized that re-releasing old cartoons was far more profitable than producing new ones.[2]: 2–3, 109  In 1957, MGM ordered Barbera and Hanna's business manager to close the cartoon division and lay off everyone by a phone call.[2]: 2–3, 109  Barbera and Hanna found the no-notice closing puzzling because Tom and Jerry had been so successful.[23]

Television

In 1957, Barbera reteamed with his former partner Hanna to produce cartoon films for television and theatrical release.[17] As they had at MGM, the two brought their different skills to the company; Barbera was a skilled gag writer and sketch artist, while Hanna had a gift for timing, story construction, and recruiting top artists. Major business decisions would be made together, though each year the title of president alternated between them.[2]: 120 [9][10]: 77, 146  A coin toss determined that Hanna would have precedence in the naming of the new company,[10]: Foreword  first called H-B Enterprises but soon changed to Hanna-Barbera Productions.[9][27]

The first offering from the new company was The Ruff & Reddy Show,[17] a series which detailed the friendship between a dog and cat.[28] Despite a lukewarm response for their first theatrical venture, Loopy De Loop, Hanna-Barbera soon established themselves with two successful television series: The Huckleberry Hound Show and The Yogi Bear Show. A 1960 survey showed that half of the viewers of Huckleberry Hound were adults. This prompted the company to create a new animated series, The Flintstones.[25][29] A parody of The Honeymooners, the new show followed a typical Stone Age family with home appliances, talking animals, and celebrity guests. With an audience of both children and adults, The Flintstones became the first animated prime-time show to be a hit.[25][28][30] Fred Flintstone's signature exclamation "yabba dabba doo" soon entered everyday usage,[5][25] and the show boosted the studio to the top of the TV cartoon field.[24] The company later produced a space-age version of The Flintstones, known as The Jetsons. Although both shows reappeared in the 1970s and 1980s, The Flintstones was far more popular.[28]

By the late 1960s, Hanna-Barbera Productions was the most successful television animation studio in the business. The Hanna-Barbera studio produced over 3000 animated half-hour television shows.[25] Among the more than 100 cartoon series they produced were The Quick Draw McGraw Show, Top Cat, Jonny Quest, The Magilla Gorilla Show, The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show, Scooby-Doo, Super Friends, and The Smurfs.[17][23][31] The company also produced animated specials based on Alice in Wonderland, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Cyrano de Bergerac, as well as the feature-length films Charlotte's Web and Heidi's Song.[2]: 228–230 

As popular as their cartoons were with 1960s audiences, they were disliked by artists.[32] Television programs had lower budgets than theatrical animation, and this economic reality caused many animation studios to go out of business in the 1950s and 1960s, putting many people in the industry out of work.[12][29] Hanna-Barbera was key in the development of an animation technique known as limited animation,[33]: 75 [34]: 54  which allowed television animation to be more cost-effective, but often sacrificed artistic quality.[17][23][31][35] Hanna and Barbera had first experimented with these techniques in the early days of Tom and Jerry.[2]: 74, 115  To reduce the cost of each episode, shows often focused more on character dialogue than detailed animation.[12][32] The number of drawings for a seven-minute cartoon decreased from 14,000 to nearly 2,000, and the company implemented innovative techniques such as rapid background changes to improve viewing.[29] Critics criticized the change from lush, detailed animation to flat characters with repetitive motion.[32] Barbera once said that their choice was to adapt to the television budgets or change careers.[33]: 75 [34]: 54  The new style did not limit the success of their animated shows, enabling Hanna-Barbera to stay in business, providing employment to many who would otherwise have been out of work.[29] Limited animation paved the way for future animated series such as The Simpsons and South Park.[32][36]

In 1966, Hanna-Barbera Productions was sold to Taft Broadcasting (renamed Great American Communications in 1987) for $12 million.[2]: 162, 235–236  Barbera and Hanna remained at the head of the company until 1991.[37]: 16 [38][39]: 151  At that point, the company was sold to the Turner Broadcasting System for an estimated $320 million.[7] Turner began using Hanna-Barbera's television catalog as material for its new Cartoon Network cable channel in 1992, and by the mid-1990s Hanna-Barbera was producing several original series for Cartoon Network, among them Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls.[28] In 1996, Turner merged with Time Warner, owners of Warner Bros., who would eventually absorb Hanna-Barbera into Warner Bros. Animation.[40]

Barbera and Hanna continued to advise their former company and periodically worked on new Hanna-Barbera shows, including shorts for the series The Cartoon Cartoon Show and feature film versions of The Flintstones (1994) and Scooby-Doo (2002).[25][41] In a new Tom and Jerry cartoon produced in 2000, The Mansion Cat, Barbera voiced the houseowner.[42]

After Hanna's death from throat cancer in March 2001, Hanna-Barbera was absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation and spun off into Cartoon Network Studios. Barbera remained active as an executive producer for Warner Bros. on direct-to-video cartoon features as well as television series such as What's New, Scooby-Doo? and Tom and Jerry Tales.[42][43] He also wrote, co-storyboarded, co-directed and co-produced The Karate Guard (2005), the first theatrical Tom and Jerry short in more than 45 years.[44][45] His final animated project was the direct-to-video feature Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale (2007), which was dedicated to him..[46]

Death

Barbera died at the age of 95 at his home from natural causes in Studio City, Los Angeles on December 18, 2006, ending a seventy-year career in animation.[47] His wife Sheila was at his side at the end;[47] he was also survived by three children from his first marriage: Jayne (who worked for Hanna–Barbera), Lynn, and Neal.[2]: 105–107  The animated films Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! and Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale and The Karate Guard were dedicated to him. His mausoleum is in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale. After Joe Barbera's passing, Cartoon Network and the Latin version of Boomerang aired a 20-second segment with black dots tracing Joesph's portrait with the words "We'll miss you - Cartoon Network" or "Sentiremos a sua falta - Boomerang" fading in on the right-hand side

Legacy

Most of the cartoons Barbera and Hanna created revolved around close friendship or partnership; this theme is evident with Fred and Barney, Tom & Jerry, Scooby and Shaggy, The Jetson family and Yogi & Boo-Boo. These may have been a reflection of the close business friendship and partnership that Barbera and Hanna shared for over 60 years.[10]: 214  Although their professional strengths, weaknesses, and personalities meshed perfectly,[11][24][25][36] Barbera and Hanna travelled in completely different social circles. Hanna's circle of personal friends primarily included other animators; Barbera had an affinity for Hollywood's celebrity society—Zsa Zsa Gabor was a frequent visitor to his house.[10]: 52–53, 137–139, 147, 222–224  Their division of work roles complemented each other but they rarely talked outside of work since Hanna was interested in the outdoors and Barbera liked beaches and good food and drink.[2]: 120–121  Nevertheless, in their long partnership, in which they worked with over 2000 animated characters, Barbera and Hanna rarely exchanged a cross word.[17] Barbera said: "We understood each other perfectly, and each of us had deep respect for the other's work."[14] Hanna 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."[43]

Barbera and Hanna were also among the first animators to realize the enormous potential of television.[35][48] Leonard Maltin says the Hanna–Barbera team "held a record for producing consistently superior cartoons using the same characters year after year—without a break or change in routine their characters are not only animated superstars, but also a very beloved part of American pop culture".[25][49] They are often considered the only rivals to Walt Disney in the art of making animated cartoons.[17][50]

Barbera and Hanna had a lasting impact on television animation.[37]: 16  Cartoons they created often make greatest lists.[28][51] Many of their characters have appeared in film, books, toys, and other media.[41] Their shows had a global audience of over 300 million people in the 1960s and have been translated into more than 20 languages.[29] The works of Barbera and Hanna have been praised not only for their animation, but for their music. The Cat Concerto (1946) and Johann Mouse (1952) have both been called "masterpieces of animation" largely because of their classical music.[11][20]: 34 [21]: 133 

In all, the Hanna–Barbera team won seven Academy Awards and eight Emmy Awards,[52][53]: 32  including the 1960 award for The Huckleberry Hound Show, which was the first Emmy awarded to an animated series.[25][28] They also won these awards: Golden Globe for Television Achievement (1960),[52] Golden IKE Award—Pacific Pioneers in Broadcasting (1983), Pioneer Award—Broadcast Music Incorporated (1987), Iris Award—NATPE Men of the Year (1988), Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Association ward for Lifetime Achievement (1988), Governors Award of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (1988), Jackie Coogan Award for Outstanding Contribution to Youth through Entertainment Youth in Film (1988), Frederic W. Ziv Award for Outstanding Achievement in Telecommunications—Broadcasting Division College—Conservatory of Music University of Cincinnati (1989), stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (1976), several Annie Awards,[10]: 170  several environmental awards, and were recipients of numerous other accolades prior to their induction into the Television Hall of Fame in 1994.[10]: 171 [25][28] In March 2005 the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and Warner Bros. Animation dedicated a wall sculpture at the Television Academy's Hall of Fame Plaza in North Hollywood to Hanna and Barbera.[54]

In 1992, Barbera met with pop musician Michael Jackson, an avid cartoon fan, in an unsuccessful attempt to arrange for him to sing in Tom and Jerry: The Movie. Barbera drew five quick sketches of Tom and Jerry for Jackson and autographed them. Jackson autographed a picture of himself and his niece Nicole for Barbera with the words: "To my hero of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, with many thanks for all the many cartoon friends you gave me as a child. They were all I had.—Michael"[2]: 236–237
