Hah BBC copied the end of this article almost verbatim...

"After Hanna's death in 2001, Barbera had remained active as an executive producer for Warner Bros. Animation on television series such as What's New, Scooby-Doo? and Tom and Jerry Tales." - Wikipedia

I have never heard of him, until I found this.

But, did he produce a lot of cartoons with Hanna (whoever that other one was?) But, in the late 1950s through early 1990s, they did produce awful a lot of cartoons or comics, but at an older age.

While they started producing Scooby-Doo cartoons and others in 1970's and 1980's, they were both in their late 50's thru their late 70's. The producer is 94 years old, I cannot believe he was born in 1911, is a very long time ago! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.54.98.29 (talkcontribs) 10 November 2005

[edit] Lebanese descent

Someone has added "Lebanese descent" to both him and William Hanna. That seems quite a coincidence ! -- Beardo 13:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Naah, Barberá is a Catalonian last name. He might have been born in Little Italy, but only he could serve as a witness to his own ancestry (does anybody here have access to his autobiography?) If I'm not mistaken his ancestry is Catalonian (or Spanish, for those leaning to the right living in the Iberian peninsula...) Demf 10:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
The 1920 and 1930 census have Joseph's parents born in Italy. Questors 21:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

He's of Lebanese descent. I myself have arabic television stations and when he died, they mentioned he was of Lebanese descent. Also, the source provided next to the line claims he's Lebanese. Lebanese people have similar last names to Southern Europeans, my mom's last name is as Italian as you can get. As for William Hanna, I don't know. Hanna is a common Lebanese name, as well, and it means John in Arabic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PassTheYouth (talkcontribs) 17:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Death

http://www.cartoonbrew.com/archives/2006_12.html#002562 He just died today, not much detail is out though


[edit] IPA Correction

The Italian pronunciation of the tonic vowel is with a closed /e/, not the open /ɛ/. The Sicilian pronunciation needs checking.Jerchower 12:29, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death Bump

On Adult Swim, unlike usual comedic bumps, they had one on (I believe December 18th) stating his birth to death years. Does anyone have the time of death, as it seemed to pop up at random in between 2 of Adult Swims normal laughable bumps. 24.91.155.164 04:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Rather than "among others", I'd prefer seeing "Yogi Bear" up in the middle of the cited TV animations. It actually comes to mind first when I hear the name Hanna-Barbera studios. Anyone else out there agree? For reference, see the YOGI BEAR article in Wiki. Those of us a certain age have the ring tone "Smarter than the average bear" embedded in our psyches.Cstromek 19:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
