Joseph Barbera was born in New York City. He started his career as an accountant for a law firm. During the Great Depression he tried unsuccessfully to become a magazine cartoonist. In 1932 he joined the Van Beuren Studio as an animator and scriptwriter, where he worked on Tom and Jerry (a series about human characters, not the cat-and-mouse), Cubby Bear, and Rainbow Parades cartoons. When Van Beuren closed down in 1936, Barbera moved over to the Terrytoons studio.
