sad day...

Hanna-Barbera were one of the best know of the 'classic' animation names and its sad to see that both have passed away, albeit after long and happy lives in the business.

One good thing is that their's (and all animated cartoons of the old era) are pretty much timeless and will remain as a legacy, especially cartoons like Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear and the Flintstones, of which Scooby Doo is still one of the best loved and most popular cartoons, even now.

without the likes of these guys and obviously other pioneers, Pixar and their ilk would be nowhere.

RIP Joe
