Today would've been the 116th birthday of the one and only William Hanna. This is the part where I'd tell you about his long partnership with Joe Barbera and all the toons they helped create, but you already know all about that, don't you?
In celebration of him and his legendary career, here are two videos spotlighting the man himself. They're pretty short, but I hope you'll still get a kick out of them. This first clip is Bill giving a couple words of encouragement to those who participated in the 1990 UNICEF animation workshop, which was held in Jamaica.
Secondly, here's a 1994 Cartoon Network promo focused on Hanna, who tells viewers to keep watching The Flintstones on the channel. Both Bill and Joe made a couple appearances in promos for the network during their later years, and were also on the channel's advisory board alongside faces like Jerry Beck and Don Messick.
