Legendary Animator Joseph Barbera Dead at 95

Joseph Barbera died today at 95. Partner and co-founder of the famed cartoon studio, Hanna-Barbera, he helped give the world such classics as Tom & Jerry, Yogi Bear, and the Flintstones while earning eight Emmys along the way.
Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1911, Barbera was originally a banker who lived the American Dream by converting his everyday doodles into characters that will go on forever.
The Hanna-Barbera studios became a subsidiary of Great American Communications Co., which was purchased in 1991 by TBS, and was then absorbed by AOL Time Warner when the two mega corps merged.
