Holy fuck they know what's up
Also Chuck Jones is GOAT

How did Hanna and Barbera go from making classic Tom & Jerry to rehashed, copypasted and mostly unfunny shit?

>>92305592
Jones and Avery are the best

>>92305592
>some guy from taiwan

>>92305592
What's up with the text on 5 and 7?

Also CJ is GOAT.

>>92305829
Budget cuts

>>92305930
Their graphic designer at the office literally does not care so instead of making sure all the text was uniform they just lowered the font weight for boxes where there was more text.

It's an edit.

Chuck Jones is the best.

>>92306115
Because the original is not PC.
>>92305829
Bill & Joe were replaced with Ruby, Spears & Takamoto.

>>92305829
Budget, mostly. Theatrical shorts had a big budget compared to TV. Hanna-Barbera developed the mass produced style in order to make cartoons viable on a TV budget.

>>92306115
Why are Bugs Hardaway, Tex Avery and Bob Clampett above a still from Cuck Jones' Rabbit Fire?

It's insulting to Avery and doubly so to Clampett.

>>92306231
But the Ed Benedict years were excellent, it was not until Ruby, Spears & Takamoto shown up that the company jumped shark (until John K shown up with his Jetsons reboot that he made in Taiwan in 1985).

>>92306240
OP fixed it however.

>>92306283
>But the Ed Benedict years were excellent
Yeah no they weren't

>>92306342
Yes, they were.

>>92306283
Not even hiding the fact that you're just aping John K's opinion

>>92306384
No, far from it.

Robert McKimson's late Bugs Bunny cartoons were shit comparison to the old one.

>>92306453
Those were Daffy/Speedy cartoons, no Bugs in there.

He was still better then Alex Lovy however.

Considering Segar and Peyo, it's about people who had a role in creating the characters pictured rather than the person who directed the animation in question.

Sum Gai from Taiwan

>>92306904
I'm pretty sure that no guy named Sum Gai has ever worked for Wang Film.

Top left if I'm being honest. CJ did better action, but top left did characterization better, such as facial expressions and subtle limb movement.

>>92305592
Are all these guys dead?

>>92307184
The Taiwanese guy may still be alive.

Jones and Avery, and it's not even close.

Even as a child, there was always something in Friz Freleng art's that put me off....

Chuck, Tex and Robert

The Hanna-Barbera era of Tom & Jerry, directed by Tom Quimby, were amazing.

>>92306305
>fixed it

>>92307191
He dead.

>>92309138
Fred Quimby only produced them, Bill & Joe directed them.

>>92309160
Pero was from Europe, Taiwan refers to Wang Film, a animation studio in Taiwan.

Always wanted to tell the difference between Looney Tunes directors but never really could.

>>92309232
Jones is the most refined, has "skinnier" models and is the basis for how the characters are drawn today.

Clampett is the wacky, squash and stretch guy, known for intentionally going off-model for slapstick purposes, also tends to get a bit surreal at times.

McKimson's character designs tend to be "fatter" than the others.

Freleng's designs were just boring.

Why was Jones so fucking GOAT in Looney Tunes but so mediocre with Tom and Jerry anyway? Was it just that by the time he got on board Tom and Jerry other parts of production were losing quality, was it that his style just didn't flow with Tom and Jerry, or was something else going on? It's always baffled me that he went from producing some of the most iconic sequences in animation history to his middling Tom and Jerry shorts in such a short period of time.

I like Clampett and Avery. I like Jones too but not as much as the former two. Don't know why, maybe it's a preference for zany, cartoony animation.

>>92306115
Should i have known...

Segar is the creator of popeye, yeah. But has he worked directly on any of the fleischer shorts?
