Review of An Interview with Joe Barbera


Barbera talks about the creative process, and his points are well-illustrated by carefully chosen excerpts from a host of favorite cartoons. The interview starts approx. 2 mins into the piece and ends at 21.30; as the producer alludes above, it might be more easily incorporated into a show without the host intro/outro as the sudden appearance of a WNYC voice may confuse listeners! It could provide historical perspective for a show about animation, or excerpted for a show about the creative process.

Even reveals the origin of the cry "yabadabadoo" from the flintstones! HW.
