I love the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. All this time I thought that Fred Quimby was responsible for the humor and the success of the series. Compared to the junk that's released these day's in the same name, those were products of real talent. The care that was given to the background scenery,individual expresions, the attention to detail when Tom is sneaking up on Jerry and when Jerry decides enough is enough and turns the tables on Tom.... All this while I thought that was all because of Fred Quimby! I mean that is the name that's still flashed in the credits for each of those short films. Now I find out that Fred Quimby had no talent and (shocker of shockers) no sense of humor. In fact he was the pointy haired boss who brought in budget cuts and refused to sanction expenses. Apparently the versions that I love are the ones that were done by William Hannah and Joseph Barbera. Chuck Jones wasn't all that great and Gene Deitch was simply awful. To think that there just is no one capable of replicating or out-doing what Hanna Barbera did is just depressing. Why is it that in today's day and age with our advanced technology and high finance, we still don't have anyone with a halfway decent sense of humor? Instead we come out with things like Southpark and the Simpsons. Remember the Cat Concerto? Beautiful. When will someone start coming up with something like that....
