Ed Barge Animation

Note: the original one received a copyright claim from WBTV. I'll post that video on twitter some other time, but for now here's the edited version.

Ed Barge (1910-1991) was an American animator who worked for William Hanna/Joseph Barbera at MGM on the Tom & Jerry and Barney Bear cartoons. He stayed alongside with Hanna and Barbera until the MGM cartoon studio closed down in 1957. Later on, Ed would join again with Hanna/Barbera during the 60's and even work for Ralph Bakshi on the film Coonskin.

Barge's animation is very solid by drawing the characters rounder and cuter, and always has a penchant of dry-brush.

Special Thanks to Eric Goldberg, Mark Kausler and Devon Baxter for some of the identifications of Ed Barge.

Note: For the record, NO, I DON'T OWN ANY OF THESE CARTOONS IN THIS VIDEO REEL. this video was made for "educational" and "instructional" purposes, so this would fall into the category of "fair use". these cartoons belong to their respective companies or creators. NO INFRINGEMENT INTENDED (this goes for music as well).
