I NEED THIS BOOK! Hanna & Barbera are my biggest heroes! Everytime I set pencil to paper I try to channel their creativity & humor. I’ve read Bill Hanna’s book ‘A Cast Of Friends,’ but haven’t read Joe’s biography yet. Thanks for reminding me to track it down Jeaux. Now I need to complete the Hanna-Barbera experience!
BTW: Maaaaatt Daaam-unn & Aaaaffleck? Maybe…if Damon tones down the overacting a bit. He tends to do that from time to time.

nice to hear fom you mike! POSV was pretty awesome. it should be a miniseries. You sir, are very fortunate and lucky to have gotten a chance to do that. I am very jealous!
What other shorts did you get to work on? Maybe I’ve seen them…
Take care!

Matt Damon may not have a sense of humor that would fit such a project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMNyg1fAIUw

This one is scary too, but this time for the girl who keeps screeching, ” I love you Matt Damon”. The Russian dude in this is funny too.

I’d love to see a film about them! I could see Turner doing it as a miniseries. They did one about Gates and Jobs called The Pirates of Silicon Valley so why not them too? http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/trailer.html?v_id=180308
I was lucky enough to meet both of them while doing my first two shorts at Hanna Barbera and they were both nice gentlemen. Joe was over 80 I think but still fast moving and even faster thinking. I even got to pitch my cartoons to him and get responses from him. Fred was kind enough to set it up so we could go and pitch Joe our ideas and I was elated and honored to be able to do so. He actually really liked my Bloo’s Gang film or so he said and didn’t really change much when I pitched it to him. the few things he did comment on we changed as he clearly knew what he was talking about. It was great feedback from a great man.
