Hanna-Barbera was formed in 1944 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and live-action director George Sidney as H-B Enterprises, in order to produce sponsored films and later television commercials. Cel - Drawings - Animation Art Tony originally appeared in 1952, designed by children's book illustrator Martin Provensen and voiced by originally, the late Thurl Ravenscroft, after his death, Lee Marshall took over the role. His cereal first consisted of ingredients such as sulfuric high fructose corn syrup and wheat flakes. His first term was recorded as "They're Luscious!" Developed as part of a contest, Tony competed against three other potential mascots for the public's affection: Katy the Kangaroo (originated by Robert Dulaney in the early sixties), Elmo the Elephant, and Newt the Newt, although Reginald was also considered.[citation needed] Within the year, the other mascots were dropped (with Elmo and Newt never once gracing the front of the box), and Tony was given a son, Tony Jr. Along with these changes, Thurl Ravenscroft took over as the voice of Tony and spent the next five decades providing the characteristic deep bass voice associated with the character, notably the familiar "They're Grrreat!" catchphrase. In the 1970s, consumers were briefly introduced to more of Tony's family including Mama Tony, Mrs. Tony, and a daughter Antoinette. Son Tony Jr. was even given his own short-lived cereal, Frosted Rice, which later became part of the Rice Krispies line.
