Joseph Barbera - The Jetsons, Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and dozens of other characters created by the imaginative minds of cartoonists Joseph Barbera (an Italian-American) and William Hanna (Scottish-American) have entertained people around the world for generations. Barbera had been working as an accountant for a New York bank when Collier's magazine bought a cartoon he had created. Inspired by that small success, he gave up accounting and embarked on a career as a cartoonist. After joining MGM, he met Hanna and the two collaborated on dozens of animated shorts and even a number of full-length films. Together Hanna and Barbera received seven Oscars in the 10-year period that ended in 1953. The names Hanna and Barbera were joined for good when the pair formed Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1957. In the ensuing years, they continued to produce volumes of work still seen on Saturday mornings everywhere.
