Page "Tom and Jerry" Paragraph 38

After the last of the Deitch cartoons were released, Chuck Jones, who had been fired from his thirty-plus year tenure at Warner Bros. Cartoons, started his own animation studio, Sib Tower 12 Productions, with partner Les Goldman.

Beginning in 1963, Jones and Goldman went on to produce 34 more Tom and Jerry shorts, all of which carried Jones ' distinctive style ( and a slight psychedelic influence ).

However, despite being animated by essentially the same artists who worked with Jones at Warners, these new shorts had varying degrees of critical success.
