In the 1941 cartoon The Prospecting Bear, Barney is paired with a donkey named Benny Burro. In the films from the late 1940s and early 1950s, Barney's design was streamlined and simplified, much the same as those of Tom and Jerry were. The last original Barney Bear cartoons were released between 19, and Dick Lundy was responsible for those. Avery himself never directed a Barney short. These cartoons tended to have a hint of Tex Avery's influence and more stylized, rubbery movements-which was not surprising, as both worked as animators (and Lah ultimately as co-director) on several of Avery's pictures.
BARNEY BEAR I LOVE YOU SERIES
Ising's original Barney design contained a plethora of detail: shaggy fur, wrinkled clothing, and six eyebrows as the series progressed, the design was gradually simplified and streamlined, reaching its peak in three late 1940s shorts, the only output of the short-lived directorial team of Preston Blair and Michael Lah. Barney Bear made his first appearance in The Bear That Couldn't Sleep in 1939, and by 1941 was the star of his own series, getting an Oscar nomination for his fourth cartoon, the 1941 short The Rookie Bear. The character was voiced by Rudolf Ising from 1939 to 1941, Pinto Colvig in 1941, Billy Bletcher from 1944 to 1949, Paul Frees from 1952 until 1954, Frank Welker and Lou Scheimer (alternating) in 1980, Jeff Bergman in 2004, and Richard McGonagle from 2012 to 2013. The character was created for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer by director Rudolf Ising, who based the bear's grumpy yet pleasant disposition on his own and derived many of his mannerisms from the screen actor Wallace Beery. 7.4 Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse.
