		Quimby, a man legendary throughout the industry for his utter lack of interest in animation, was intrigued by the possibilities of the restaurant field; he envisioned a dining establishment that would display the same high quality and plush feel that MGM’s movies were famous for.
		As a result, MGM was deserted for weeks, with a distraught Quimby weeping piteously at a table, surrounding by rotting food, while employees ranging from Scott Bradley to Irv Spence attempted, in vain, to console the morose animation baron.
		A much-relieved Fred Quimby came out of his funk, and all was well.

		In my opinion it officially jumped when Fred Quimby stopped producing them, but as I was growing up watching them and I didn't pay attention to the credits, I knew that the bigger Jerry's ears were, the less funny it would be.
		Fred Quimby-produced episodes were nasty and violent, but the artistry was superb.

	Fred Quimby
		The astonishing thing about it is, Quimby knew the recipe for quality entertainment, but he did not put that recipe to use because at the end of the day, business logistics won out.
		MGM began to produce lackluster crap, and after this was proven to them in the form of poor box-office performances, they shut their animated division down.
		Luckily, Quimby bailed out of the kitchen (or, to put it less succinctly, “retired”) before the heat got too intense.

		Here, in a round-cornered, two-story, cream-colored stucco building containing a rabbit warren of rooms for animators, layout artists, in-betweeners, ink and paint girls, cameramen and movieola machines, Tom and Jerry leaped magically to life.
		Since 1937 he had ridden herd on a zany cast of cartoonists of whom he understood little, having, unfortunately for a cartoon producer, no sense of humor to call upon.
		Quimby's retirement in no way hampered the creative flow of the Tom and Jerry cartoons, but his leaving signaled the beginning of the end of an era, the Golden Age of Hollywood, in the worlds of both action and animation.
