Question: How is 'Hanna-Barbera' pronounced?

I always pronounce it "Hah-nah Bah-Bear-Ah".

That's what I thought, ta. It's just that two of my colleagues are claiming that 'Barbera' is pronounced as 'Bah-bar-ah'.

It's pronounced the same way as the baseball player, Yogi Barbera, who Yogi Bear was named for...

Now I have the Yogi song in my head!

"There is a bear that we all know, Yogi Yogi..."

That'll be Yogi Berra (http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Yogi+Berra)....

Like he said...

How come I didn't spot [livejournal.com profile] akicif's post until after I posted?

Not quite.

The animation studio is indeed, pronounced BAR-BEAR-AH; and the the cartoon bear that they made famous really was named after the famous ball-player.

It's just the Yogi's name was spelled B-E-R-R-A (one B, two R's).

That's how I remember it being pronounced at a ride based on the cartoons in some theme park, I think at Universal Studios, when I was a kid. There was a short documentary before the ride where people talked of how brilliant Hanna and Barbera were.

"Shite."

No, not really. In American, it's "HAN-nuh Bar-BEAR-uh."

A.

Sure I listened! But it's been years and years since I saw one of their cartoons...

Well, I guess I have a weird memory for this sort of thing ... "This has been a Hanna-Barbera production" rings loudly in mind. I guess Charolette's Web made a strong impression. :-)
