Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 03-23-2001 09:33 AM                     I'm so sorry to read this news this morning. I was raised on the Hanna-Barbera product. I remember Ruff and Ready fondly. Not to mention all of the MGM Tom and Jerry cartoons... It was the 1970's before I found that he and Joe Barbera actually had lives before TV...I started reading credits on cartoons. This is a sad day. He will be truly missed. I'm glad he left such a legacy. John Keegan Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Trevose, Pa Near Northeast Philadelphia USA.

I wish Turner would put them on DVD or video because there are so many I'd like to see again. Any knowledge of any on or planning to go on video or DVD?

It was in the spot where Splahtown is now in case any of you have ever been. My parents still have slides they took of it.

He and Dawes Butler can spend the rest of eternity talking about the good ol' days up there in the great Toon Town in the sky. Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

There's a clever article in today's Washington Post about Hanna and the many characters he created. Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-24-2001 11:30 PM                     Also, Norma McMillan, the voice of Sweet Polly Purebread (from the Underdog Show), Casper (1963 tv cartoons made by Paramount), and Gumby died last week at the age of 79 in Vancouver, B.C.
