Here, for the first time, is a showcase presentation of the best of the art from the legendary Hanna-Barbera studio.

The Hanna-Barbera Treasury celebrates the legacy of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera through more than five decades of rare drawings, storyboards, concept art, and memorabilia from studio archives and private collections. It includes more than 24 removable artifacts and facsimile reproductions, as well as photographs, sketches, comic book covers, brochures, and posters. Vintage art, rare merchandising images, retro product packages, and archival newspaper and magazine ads transport the reader back in time to an era when a brave new medium invaded our living rooms to create a new art form: the prime-time family cartoon.

In a world flooded by rapidly changing images, few are able to maintain the appeal that has defined the characters of Hanna-Barbera for more than 50 years. Since first joining forces as a pair of young animators, Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera won the hearts of more than three generations. The duo won seven Academy awards at MGM during the golden age of the Hollywood cartoon, and still, decades later, their best-loved characters, having made their debut in television's early days, are household names.

Today, it is not uncommon for three generations to share the joy of Hanna-Barbera's creations, including such classics as Huckleberry Hound, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Magilla Gorilla, Top Cat, and Space Ghost. Written by animation historian Jerry Beck, The Hanna-Barbera Treasury will be eagerly sought by those who grew up with these characters as well as a new generation of cartoon fans.

HB At It's Best

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2008

Verified Purchase

This is really a good book. It's informative, it's fun to look at, and there are neat little surprises here and there. What I really loved about this book was some of the old story boards, character sketches, and production materials. Most HB books have screen shots from the cartoons. There was only one thing I didn't like about it, and it's really just me being picky. The section on "Frankenstein Jr. & The Impossibles." The Impossibles is one of my favorite HB cartoons, and the lack of "fun stuff" (storyboards, character sketches, etc.) really got to me. It was mostly Frankenstein Jr. "fun stuff" and two pics of the Impossibles at most.

But like I said, that's just me being nitpicky. Other than my personal preference, this was an interesting book.

My Hanna Barbera Treasury arrived in a timely fashion. It came packed in premium packaging with protective padding. All pages and inserts intact. No marks, like new. This is a colorful very entertaining book. I feel the same pleasure that I felt as a child watching the cartoons when I look at this book.Very satisfied toonhead.

Hanna Barbera Treasury Is Just That

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2010

Verified Purchase

I waited anxiously for this book to arrive because I am a lifelong fan of so many of these characters. I remember the very early days watching Huckleberry Hound and later The Flintstones.
There is no way to remember my childhood without the characters that live inside this book. The warm memories and the fantasatic format make this a work of love to be cherished forever!

I became an artist because of Hanna Barbera if you are a fan you want this book! All the little surprises tucked inside make it a joy with every viewing. Thankfully Boomerang continues to showcase these childhood heroes and I am hoping to see Warner Brothers to give these cartoons the respect they deserve by making new cartoons starring them. Until then I will be inside this book as often as I can.

I was hoping for more artwork on the most popular shows, instead they littered the book with a bunch of stuff taped/glued to the pages.

The Hanna & Barbera's touch

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

This artbook for me is like a brick that made complete the great wall of animation television's history. It's like a great ride of colours that shows an extraordinary sequence of pieces of art: chara model sheets, scketch drawings, advertising photographs, action figures and all the various types of memorabilia produced during the years around the pleasants characters that were born from the genial brains of Hanna & Barbera. Everybody who has loved this world full of ideas, amusing side and adventures cannot miss this item!

You'll Kick Yourself For Not Buying This Book

Reviewed in Canada on April 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

There are some negative comments about this book, but let me assure you that the positives far outweigh the negatives! You can't fully appreciate how spectacular this book is until you are holding it in your hands. For starters, it is a very impressive size, measuring 11.5" x 10.5" x 1". It covers the most popular of Hanna Barbera's cartoon roster, as well as a few possibly lesser know characters too. Best of all, it is chock full of fantastic extras: mini comics, animation cells, paper masks, removable story boards, flip books, cards, little colouring books, character designs, etc. The pages are nice and thick, the pictures vibrant and colourful. There are photos of rare memorabilia, promotional designs, scripts and advertisments, as well as pictures of the amazing people who voiced our favourite characters. You will want to spend hours just looking through this masterpiece. The perfect addition to any library, whether you are a die hard fan or just a casual observer. Well worth the price!
