Hmm, that would make more sense to me. I was never a huge fan of Tom and Jerry, but I always respected the level of animation put into their cartoons. Hanna-Barbera just don't seem to fit that in my mind (perhaps I should actually read their history).

Otherwise, Walt Disney and Chuck Jones were my idols as a child. And, even though I no longer have any desire to be an animator, I still have a lot of respect for their accomplishments. In fact I still seek to emulate the life of Walt Disney quite a bit (minus the cancer hopefully).
