July 14th marked the 98th anniversary of the birth of the late, legendary animator/producer William Denby Hanna.
Hanna and his partner Joseph Roland Barbera (1911-2006) are credited with a chunk of cartoon history which was the epitome of many a Saturday Morning: Tom and Jerry, Ruff and Reddy, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Loopy DeLoop, Josie and The Pussy Cats, Cattanooga Cats, Harlem Globetrotters, Space Ghost. Birdman, Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor, Partridge Family 2200 A.D., Sealab 2020, The Jetsons, Top Cat, Jonny Quest, Wheelie and The Chopper Bunch, Hong Kong Phooey, Grape Ape, Mumbly, Jabberjaw, Dynomutt, Clue Club, Super Friends, Skatebirds, The Banana Splits, and a host of others, winning Oscars and Emmies for their magnificent efforts.
Hanna died on March 22, 2001, at the age of 90. But it's a comfort to know that Willie and Joe's legacy continues to live on. 28 July 2008 01:03pm |

This isn't a question, just a trivia item I learned. Yesterday I learned that huckleberries are a type of blueberries. I guess that is why Huckleberry Hound is blue! 24 June 2008 04:36am |

I am making some inquiries for a friend who recently lost her husband and is taking inventory of their estate. She had purchased the original drawings of the opening title sequence of The Flinstones for her husband years ago and is now considering putting this item up for sale. This includes a leather bound book of hand drawings displaying the original complete storyboard for stock footage opening credits from 1960-1963 of “The Flinstones”. Per my friend, this was purchased directly from American Ink and includes a certificate of authenticity signed by Sally Walsh, Gallery Director. I am trying to get any information possible to assist her in selling this item to a person who values it as much as her and her husband did. Do you have any information that you can offer on current value and market for this type of item? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. 7 December 2007 04:16am |

I used to work for Warner Bros in the late 90's about the same time Hanna Barbera and all their properties were sold to Warner Bros. Our character department designed a piece of art depicting Bugs Bunny with his arm around Tom & Jerry and shaking hands with Fred Flintstone that was to be used as a promotional piece. One of the Hanna Barbera people who were integrated into Warner Bros asked me for a print out of the art and if he gave me 2 he would get one signed and give me a copy. So I did...at this point I can not attest to the authenticity of the signatures. But from the research I've done they look remarkably accurate. I have noticed looking at Bill Hanna's signature that it seems to vary a lot, but has a few minor similarities. While Joe Barbera's seems to be very consistent and looks remarkably consistent.
I was wondering if you could point in the right direction as far as how to get the piece authenticated or alternatives to ebay, like are there societies that might be interested?
If you would like me to email you a picture of the piece of art email me and I will.

My all-time favorite Flinstones episode has got to be Rip Van Flinstone from the Sixth Season, It's the one where Fred falls asleep for twenty years an wakes up in a Bedrock - poulation 30,000 - where nobody remembers him and B.J. Rubble, the multi multi millionaire lives on his estate, Sanstone Simeon. It is also the only episode that features full frontal nudity. Note: the paintings in the front parlor of Barney's mansion. 14 October 2007 03:35am |

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1975 (A day of infamy for...Tom & Jerry fans!)
The New Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape Show, a new cartoon series from Hanna-Barbera, premiered - 8:30 (EDT) on ABC Saturday Morning. Here the long-popular Tom and Jerry, after years of rivalry, have (in order to appease ABC Standards and Practices!) become the best of friends (and Jerry dons a red bowtie, so the animators would be able to "fragment" his movements), in episodes wherein they roamed the world competing in sports, enduring on-the-job misadventures, running afoul of dastardly villains, solving mysteries and helping others.
Each hour-long telecast of New Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape was split into five segments in a specific format: alternating with three 7-minute New Tom & Jerry segments were two 10-minute ones concerning a 40-foot purple ape, Grape Ape (voiced by the late Bob Holt) and his fast-talking beagle buddy, a carnival hustler answering to the unlikely moniker of Beegle Beagle (voiced by Marty Ingels), or "Beegley Beagley," as G.A. would lovingly refer to him. It was Hanna-Barbera˘s only new series for the 1975-1976 television season. 6 September 2007 12:46pm |

Hello! I am due to have my baby girl any day now and what I'm looking for is the Flintstones baby crib mobile (made in the late 70's?) to go in her Pebbles-themed room. I'm also looking for any Pebbles/Flintstones baby stuff that anyone may have for sale. I have found quite a bit of stuff on ebay so far but no crib mobile, which I think I've only seen it once on ebay. Thanks! 3 May 2007 02:36pm Webmaster Comments - Email address has been corrected. |
Hanna-Barbera's 1975 Tom & Jerry Show---my personal fave | |
|
Regardless of how many negative posts, criticisms, rants and insults of it that come out of the woodwork, Hanna-Barbera's 1975 version of Tom & Jerry shall always hold dear to me! To each his own...
Hence my web presence, The New Tom & Jerry Info Site @ http://www.1975tomjerry.50megs.com/ , which I launched in March 1997, to show all and sundry that there was someone out there who took interest in them and, to a degree at least, put an end to all the bad press they've been getting. Until January 2004 (so far), Boomerang from Catoon Network has done the 1975 T&J's justice by showing them periodically on Boomerang Saturdays (1976, 1977 and 1978). They neglected to show them in April 2004 during the weekly Friday T&J marathons; they seem to be limited to the 1940-67 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer theatricals, Filmation's 1980-82 version (The Tom & Jerry Comedy Show) and that 1990-93 Fox revival Tom & Jerry Kids (that grey stripe between Tom's eyes was not his best feature, imho!). But CN more than made up for this with the addition of the 1975 T&Js to their rotation in May 2005.
Like I said, to each his own. Everyone here has his/her favourite version of Tom & Jerry; mine is and shall forever remain H-B's "black sheep" 1975 made-for-tv version. Just because a Tom & Jerry cartoon, be it old or new, is nonviolent does not mean it cannot be watched and enjoyed. (I mean, check out the sports-themed New T&Js! And Spike! And Hoyt Curtin's jazzy underscore!) In the days of political correctness, this was the only way Hanna-Barbera could return Tom & Jerry to TV, and that's exactly what they did! But then, PC-ness has nothing to do with my enthusiasm for this series.
Which version of T&J do you fancy? 22 April 2007 03:51pm |
