If there was one thing Joe Barbera and Bill Hanna earned a lot of, it was awards. Throughout their career, the pair achieved awards from the Academy, the Emmys, the Annies, and many more. Unfortunately, there isn't exactly a wealth of footage of many of these ceremonies, but I came across one over the summer that I think you will enjoy.
This video is of Bill and Joe's induction into the Television Hall of Fame. This was back in 1994, the tenth year since the ceremony's inception. Others inducted were Alan Alda, Oprah Winfrey, and Barry Diller. It's a short segment, but it does a great job running through the careers of both men, complete with some great photos that I don't think have been seen anywhere but here. You've also got appearances from actress Shari Belafonte, Ted Turner, and all the way from Bedrock, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. Give the video a watch over at the Television Academy website.
