Surreal fun and antics await you in these timeless cartoon cIassics from the Van Beuren Studio! Tom and Jerry were created by animation director John Foster, and New York based artists George Stallings and George RufIe in the early 1930s. The characters were based on Waffles the Cat and Don Dog from the Aesop's Fables cartoon series, and were inspired by the popular comic strip Mutt and Jeff; SeveraI animators from the Fleischer animation studio (Betty Boop) moonIighted for Van Beuren, which was located right across the street! These animators took their surreaI and kooky animation styIes with them to work on Tom and Jerry. Joseph Barbera, of Hanna-Barbera fame, aIso got his start working on this series; ln the 1950s, the characters were renamed "Dick and Larry" to avoid confusion with the famous cat and mouse duo. Today, Van Beuren's Tom and Jerry have a IoyaI cult foIIowing among 1930s animation fans.
