He joined MGM in 1947 where he animated nearly eighty \u003cem\u003eTom and Jerry \u003c\/em\u003eshorts over the next decade. He was one of Hanna-Barbera’s first employees and continued there for the next twenty years as both an animator and layout artist. Bickenbach was responsible for drafting many of the studio’s early model sheets and character designs. His influence on the style of Hanna-Barbera’s early cartoons cannot be overstated. In 1984, Bickenbach won the Motion Picture Screen Cartoonists Golden Award.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE MEDIUM: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eModel sheets\u003c\/em\u003e were designed in animation studio production to show a standard for how any given character would look in different poses.
