Tom Ray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Ray is an American animator who began work at Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1937. Over the first two decades of his career, he was a junior animator who received no screen credit until Destination Earth in 1956. In 1958, he became a master animator in the Robert McKimson unit. Later, he transferred to the Chuck Jones unit, where he co-directed Adventures of the Road-Runner and several Bugs Bunny Show episodes. He followed Jones to M-G-M in 1963; there, he directed Matinee Mouse in 1966 and Shutter Bugged Cat in 1967. After M-G-M closed its cartoon studio, Ray worked for several animation houses, including DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and Hanna-Barbera. He rejoined Jones to do animation on Mrs. Doubtfire and Superior Duck. He has since founded his own animation house.
