About this Quote

Joseph Barbera's quote suggests that he initially proposed the concept of producing a series of cartoons based upon Bible stories, however the people he pitched the idea to were not particularly enthusiastic about it. This might be since the people he pitched the concept to were not acquainted with the Bible stories, or because they were not thinking about the concept of developing a series of cartoons based on spiritual stories. It could also be because they were uncertain how successful such a series would be, or since they were not sure how to market it. Whatever the reason, it appears that Joseph Barbera's concept was not well gotten. This might have been a frustration for him, but it could likewise have actually been a blessing in disguise, as it could have led him to pursue other imaginative jobs.
