I just discovered your wonderful blog, thanks to Mark Evanier, and have been working my way through your archives.<br /><br />I'm also a collector of the Give-A-Show Projector, and have been converting my collection into videos with added music and sound effects, which I've been sharing on the Give-A-Show Blog at giveashow.blogspot.com - yeah, they're poor excuses for cartoons, but still have their own (sometimes wonky) charm... I hope you'll check it out sometime!Jon Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346075090240271003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-20266697145132198402010-01-15T07:16:19.350-08:002010-01-15T07:16:19.350-08:00Willam Hanna & Joe Barbera Were Such Nice Peop...Willam Hanna & Joe Barbera Were Such Nice People, They will Be Missed.

The absence of Joe Barbera's name puzzled me, too. I've never read Barbera's book so I don't know if he ever mentioned it.<br /><br />Scott mentioned Hanna, Lah, Don Driscoll and Don McNamara set up Shield. I don't know who the latter two guys are but they weren't involved in H-B Productions, were they? Of course, Lah was, but he freelancing? When he did and Les Goldman (and I can't remember who else) set up Quartet Films?Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-11274120415054958332009-12-14T11:24:06.322-08:002009-12-14T11:24:06.322-08:00From what I've read, Bill Hanna and Mike Lah h...From what I've read, Bill Hanna and Mike Lah had set up Shield Productions to produce new color Crusader Rabbit cartoons for Jay Ward. When Shull Bonsall stepped in and claimed ownership, Shield was left in the lurch. Joe Barbera was busy boarding Ruff and Reddy at home. Basically the Shield staff (minus Michael Lah, for some reason) became H-B Enterprises and produced the Ruff and Reddy's. Dick Bickenbach said in an interview that just prior to MGM closing the animation dept., Joe Barbera handed him some sketches of a cat and a dog and said "see if you can do anything with these". I've never seen anything that answers the question--Why did Bill Hanna set up Shield without Joe?Steve Shermanhttp://www.puppetstudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-49603568427932389342009-12-14T10:43:49.084-08:002009-12-14T10:43:49.084-08:00Errol wrote:

That's probably what I remember most about this rare series. It actually had a cliff hanger or a thread, ala " Clutch Cargo " and others out of that ilk. You had to " Stay tuned " to see the resolution of the story. Happy Birthday Hanna-Barbera!
