But whatever they were, Barbera performed a miracle to keep funding new cartoons. He convinced network TV to carry a half-hour of evening cartoon entertainment, Flintstones. Even Walt Disney could not do that. The cartoon business owes a tremendous debt to Mr Barbera. Any business man who experiences the difficulty of building and maintaining a business will understand what he achieved.
That's another thing about this book and story that help me appreciate this icon of American entertainment; he is very proud and confident in his accomplishments but far from arrogant about it. Giving credit where credit is due, admitting his own shortcomings yet not apologizing for his success made this a very enjoyable read. My main example in this is the way that although as I mentioned some parts of his recollections are pretty quick I get the impression that Mr. Barbera had every intention of revisiting this work or perhaps writing a follow up book. But like the animation style he was famous for he seems to have wanted to get to the points quickly and efficiently. In that he accomplished very well.
My four star versus a five star rating only comes because I wanted more that I think he could have given. But do yourself a favor and get this one. It's a fantastic recollection of the life of the man that brought us Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones and hundreds more incredible inhabitants of Saturday morning and beyond.
