Animation legend Hanna dies

William Hanna, the American animator behind classic cartoons such as 'Yogi Bear', 'The 'Flintstones' and 'Top Cat', has died at his home in Los Angeles. He was 90-years-old. With Joseph Barbera, Hanna was the dominant force in American cartooning for more than half a century, creating 'Tom and Jerrry', which won seven Academy awards.
