The first character is Flip the Frog, created and animated by Ub Iwerks, who left working with Disney for a few years before returning to work with his old friend just in time for the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. While back at Disney, Ub rarely did animation, as he graduated to doing technical and special effects work, stuff like tinkering and improving the multiplane camera system Walt had developed for The Old Mill and Snow White.
@@andrewcrowley6331Not just budget cuts in this case. MGM actually shut down its animation department in 1957. But three years later they subcontracted director Gene Deitch to make new Tom & Jerry cartoons from his studio in Czechoslovakia. His crew of Czech animators had very little exposure to Tom & Jerry and only were given six old shorts to get to know the characters. Combined with the low budgets, it's kind of remarkable that the Deitch cartoons turned out as well as they did, though they aren't well liked. After thirteen of these, MGM ended that contract and hired Chuck Jones (who had just been fired from Warner Bros. after working there for thirty years) to continue the series, and that lasted four more years until MGM pulled the plug for good.
@@chrisrj9871 It wasn't that, sadly. Budgets were getting smaller and smaller, because the market for theatrical shorts was getting smaller and smaller, so production kept getting more and more bare-bones as time went on. But the change during the mid-1950s from more traditional, realistic backgrounds and more rounded designs, to a more stylized, angular approach for both, was a reflection of strong trends in animation and graphic art during that time. It ALSO happened to tie in nicely with the budgets starting to slowly shrink. But as the decade went on, even Hanna and Barbera's skilled direction often wasn't enough to hide how stripped-down the whole operation was starting to get.
Prior to Tom And Jerry Debut Some Early MGM Shorts Was Watched by Nearly Little Audience Who Focused on Disney & Warner Bros Cartoons However Everything Changed When Tom And Jerry Debuted Some MGM Cartoons Audience Began to Rise All Thanks to William Hanna & Joseph Barbera.
I'm sorry from the waid and wrong comments but. I like to i wanted to ask you MGM Cartoon Studio, Hanna-barbera and MGM Animation is 1000% better than MGM Animation/Visual Arts
I can tell.every episode from T&J with only oke second of each short. I love it! I always wandered if mgm was the true edgy disney competitor on the early 20th century... damn those shorts are awesome even to this very day
@@mlgodzilla4206Right around 1953 or so. Broadly speaking, the entire industry -- even Disney -- was affected by a 25% pay raise that the animators' union fought for and won in 1946, which left the producers either unable or unwilling to budget as much as before, and the change starts to become noticeable after 1947 or '48. The movement started to become a bit more spare. I think the change was most noticeable in the Warner cartoons, which had pretty thin budgets to begin with. But even then the movement was much more full than it would get as the 1950s went on and budgets became tighter and tighter across the whole industry. I'm not sure exactly what took place at MGM specifically around 1953 but you can really see it show up on screen.
By the mid-'50s, the art becomes noticeably more stylised and simplistic. Obviously, this is due to budget cuts. However, I see a lot of personal favourite "Tom & Jerry" cartoons during this period, as the flatter design made the slapstick easier to read, and the less formulaic plots kept the dynamic fresh. The 1960s is when the budgets started genuinely affecting the storytelling of theatrical shorts. But MGM managed to maintain some quality due to Chuck Jones and an agreement to continue with full animation (CJ's T&J cartoons were made on $42,000 budgets; $12,000 higher than what Warner Bros. was giving him before his firing). All I can say is thanks, MGM, for your incredible cartoons from the golden age.
Where is The Hollywood Party's Hot Choc-Late Soldiers (1934), The Phantom Tollbooth (1970), The Boy and the Wolf (1943), Anchors Aweigh (1945), Dangerous When Wet (1953), Magic Boy (1959 - from Toei Animation for MGM), the Sinbad sequence from Invitation to the Dance (1956), Leo's animated appearance on the Scaramouche 1952 teaser trailer, The Pogo Special Birthday Special (1969) and the two Dr. Suess MGM Hoilday Specials: Horton Hears A Who (Easter 1970) and How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Xmas 1966)? Meanwhile Hanna-Barbera's 1975 and Flimation's 1980 television adaptations of Tom and Jerry TV episodes are outside of the original MGM Cartoon timeline respectively before Turner's 1986 acquisition of the entire MGM catalog.
Fiddlesticks (1930), Flying Fists (1930), Little Orphan Willie (1930), and Puddle Pranks (1930) are not considered as MGM cartoons, as Celebrity Productions (the studio that worked for Disney and distributed the Mickey Mouse cartoons from 1928 to 1929) distributed these cartoons, while Ub Iwerks' own studio owned all of these cartoons.
@@-Takisusa- All of MGM's cartoons from the 40's and 50's are Looney Tunes if more zanier and wackier. especially the Tom and Jerry & Tex Avery shorts !
@@lunarneo757This was from the Chuck Jones era but this short uses stock footage from the Hanna-Barbera era and new scenes used these designs as well.
@@-Takisusa- Holy crap ! the humor in MGM cartoons during the 40's and 50's literally remind me of Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, as you can tell by the wacky and nutty slapstick, hilariously clever gags and screwball comedy that WB was known for when it comes to cartoons. the only difference here is the facial expressions, cheekier adult jokes, very fast animation, snappier humor and the fact that the characters in the shorts do the wildest of wild takes ! I bet Courage The Cowardly Dog pays tribute to MGM and WB cartoons all the time !
2:29... Man, the moment Tex Avery joined the studio, everything changed.
It's even become really violent
I love how it goes from Fleischer to Disney to Warner Bros. to like some trippy psychedelia at the end!
That's pretty much how all Hollywood animation evolved from the '30s to the '60s 😆

MGM had Flip the Frog? That’s news to me
The drop in quality from 1958 to 1961 is stomach churning
Budget cuts will do that

Can't it be seen as a new and exciting artistic style and approach? Some people like or don't mind a groovy art-house style.
