  • Gene Deitch is a brilliant man. Much respect for him....but we can talk about what happened with Tom and Jerry later.

  • Unfortunately, a lot of cartoon fans (like me) first learned about Gene Deitch via Tom and Jerry. As a kid, his name was anathema to me until I learned more about his work.

  • @telebob59

    yet Jones came closer to the HB version and had better animation

  • @hackensac Because producer William Snyder approached Gene about doing so for MGM, who apparently still were interested in theatrical cartoon product despite having closed their own studio a few short years earlier. Mind you, Chuck Jones wasn't exactly a fan of the Hanna and Barbera MGM Tom and Jerry shorts, at least from a conceptual standpoint. Yet he too tackled the series and, like Deitch, put his own stamp on the characters.

  • Why would he direct Tom and Jerry shorts if he didn't even like Tom and Jerry?

  • Amen Gene!!!! :D

  • This guy was my neighbour for about 16 years now, great man

  • If you wanna see good Gene Deitch work, watch his Weston Woods children's book adaptations. That's my childhood right there...

  • Master, I love his work

  • Now that,was really inspiring.It's nice to hear and see someone talk about animation with such passion :)

  • AMEN!

  • Thanks a lot Gene, This is exactly what i told my friends after we watched the last Christmas Carol movie... I just felt there is no reason for doing a film in such a realistic style if a camera and real actors could have done it much better. Drawn animation have unlimited possibilities
