"Hank did something none of the news...Ahem...<br /><br />"Hank did something none of the newspaper obituaries did. He let the Hanna-Barbera characters speak."<br /><br />Read this:<br /><br />"Saturday morning cartoon king William Hanna, 90, died at his North Hollywood home Thursday. What follows are EXCERPTS FROM A NEVER FINISHED BRITISH TELEVISION DOCUMENTARY, an oral-history account of the glory days of Hanna-Barbera animation studios."<br /><br />If the article says that those quotes are from a British television documentary that was never finished, then I'm pretty sure it's right. I really don't think Hank Stuever made it up, but it was a clever idea. Very interesting to read.<br /><br />Gotta go.<br /><br />RyanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-74821906476106004912011-03-26T07:46:21.034-07:002011-03-26T07:46:21.034-07:00When I found this last night, I'm like "W...When I found this last night, I'm like "Wow, whoever researched that is a genius!

I wrote it on deadline and my editors were somewhat skeptical, until they read it. <br /><br />I never met Bill, but I met and interviewed Barbera once, in the mid-90s, at the old H-B compound, while reporting a piece that never ran -- a profile of Hoyt Curtin. Regrets all around about that one. (I wrote an appreciation of Curtin when he died, circa 2000.)<br /><br />Anyway, what a treat to find this site. It's GREAT. So much to read!
