Su contribución al primitivo cine de dibujos animados se puede resumir en las siguientes palabras: "among Barré’s longlasting contributions were the refinement of animation processes used by many as supplements to cels, the organization of the studio system into an efficient chain of command, and the apprenticeship of a dozen or so young animators who went on to work in the studios of Hearst, Bowers, Lantz, Disney, Columbia and Warners".
