With careers spanning eight decades, William Hanna and Joseph
Barbera were two of the most prolific animation producers in
American history. In 1940, the two met at MGM and created Tom and
Jerry, who would earn 14 Academy Award nominations and seven wins.
The growth of television led to the founding of Hanna-Barbera's
legendary studio that produced countless hours of cartoons, with
beloved characters from Fred Flintstone, George Jetson and
Scooby-Doo to the Super Friends and the Smurfs. Prime-time animated
sitcoms, Saturday morning cartoons, and Cartoon Network's cable
animation are some of the many areas of television revolutionized
by the team. Their productions are critical to our cultural
history, reflecting ideologies and trends in both media and
society. This book offers a complete company history and examines
its productions' influences, changing technologies, and enduring
cultural legacy, with careful attention to Hanna-Barbera's
problematic record of racial and gender representation.
