Ventura graduated from CalArts in the late '70s and proceeded to work all over the animation industry as an artist, storyboarder and writer. He worked as a "gag man" at Disney features during their 1980s revival, writing many of the Roger Rabbit shorts. He left for Hanna-Barbera Productions to work on Tom & Jerry Kids where he got to work alongside and learn from Joseph Barbera. While at Hanna-Barbera, Ventura was instrumental in the development of Cartoon Network's What a Cartoon! showcase series (then known as World Premiere Toons). The series also gave Ventura his first chance to create his own shorts.
