    We lost a legend here. A true legend. Joseph Barbera and with along side William Hanna, created the best, most legendary animation/art studio known to man kind. "Hanna-Barbera". Hanna Barbera was the first animation production I was introduced to when I was a little kid. The memories of the greatness they had produced, directed, storyboarde and etc. The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Johnny Quest and so on. I bet without the teamwork of Hanna Barbera, many of the cartoon industries wouldn't have been here this very day. Hannah Babera changed way of cartoons and comedy. It warmed our hearts with the most memoriable animated series. I have to say, without the inspiration Hanna Barbera gave, I wouldn't have become the artist I am today. Hannah Barbera we will miss your traditionally designes artwork. You're founders may be gone but they're creation lives on. Hanna Barbera is 1,000% good television, great animation, and most cherished cartoons ever made. Bravo to all that worked with this production. I hope you find a way to arry on these two men's work. Hanna Barbera is a 10, it is 100%, it is good television and should be carried on for entenity.
