Loony Tunes cartoons are also very good, especially Daffy Duck and Road Runner. You're right, Greenkitten, the Deitch Tom and Jerry cartoon certainly weren't the best of the bunch, but the older ones and some of the newer ones certainly are classics. To me that makes LT the best cartoon of all time. Looney Tunes in its most recognizable form (Mel Blanc voice overs) lasted from 1937 to 1969. Tom & Jerry only lasted in its original form (Hanna-Barbera) for 18 years. That program has more recognizable characters, a greater fan following and also longevity. That said, it is not the greatest cartoon ever. They shunned the need for dialogue and relied on the unexpected beauty of physical violence and accompanied music to create the kind of hilarity that is rare in any age. Tom and Jerry was an all-time great in the animated industry. Later!ĮJ Lambert from Chicago, IL on May 19, 2013: The animation in those was positively Disney-esque. But I think the classic Tom and Jerry cartoons are the best ever. You're right about Loony Tunes - they've certainly produced some of the best cartoons ever. Kelley Marks (author) from Sacramento, California on May 20, 2013: It was a classic series worthy of the praise it gets. The 1975 Tom & Jerry not very good?! Not very good, my foot! It's unbelievably good better than you'd think a cartoon could be!ĮJ Lambert from Chicago, IL on May 20, 2013: I believe Hannah and Barbera directed those for MGM. The best for me were the ones from the era with the duck. I liked a few of the Gene versions, but not at all my preference. I believe Chuck jones' version is the one where Tom had the pointy, angry eyebrows. LaZeric Freeman from Hammond on January 15, 2014: The Tom and Jerry cartoons have a different look for every era, which is to be expected, I suppose, no matter how much we prefer those 'toons from the classic era, the 1940s or so. Kelley Marks (author) from Sacramento, California on January 16, 2014: I think he's way funnier & besides he's so much more original & Sylvester's so much more predictable & I think Tom's more fun considering he doesn't have anywhere near as much bad luck. The 1975 T&J is not insipid! It's very pleasant. Related story from us:Mel Blanc, the voice actor of nearly all Looney Tunes characters woke up from a coma saying “What’s up, Doc?”Ĭhuck Jones himself is reported to have said on one occasion, “ June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc, Mel Blanc was the male June Foray,” and that says quite a bit.I agree the 1975 T&J's not very good. She portrays Granny, among other things, and after all this time she must have spoken every known word and phrase from the English vocabulary a granny could say. Today, the 99-year-old Foray is still doing what she knows best, voice acting. In 2012, at age 94, she became the oldest person to win an Emmy. She collaborated frequently with Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones, who recognized her talents at the very start and insisted that she be the voice behind their characters. Over the years she actually grew into the role of Granny. Nevertheless, despite all the arrangements she had elsewhere, Foray never ceased to lend her voice for Granny, or work for Warner Bros. ![]() The ending sequence of each episode of the Looney Tunes cartoons in the 1970s
