NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. —
"Mighty Mouse” is 40 years old
and the people who created
him, "Heckle and Jeckle,” "Far
mer Alfalfa” and "Torn Terrific”
recently got together for a reun
ion and retrospective.
The retrospective and reun
ion were held on the 40th birth
day of Mighty Mouse, who was
conceived in the New Rochelle
studio first as Supermouse in
the 1942 cartoon, "Mouse of
Tomorrow.”
These characters were bom in
the Terry toon Studio, the only
major animation studio on the
East Coast until it was disman
tled in the early 1970s.
By that time, the studio had
turned out over 1,000 5-to-7 mi
nute cartoons, with a 7-minute
cartoon requiring more than
5,000 separate scenes and draw
ings.
The driving force behind the
company was the late Paul Ter
ry. His critics — and often his
employees — considered him
stubborn, skeptical of new ideas
and a spendthrift. But they all
agreed he was a master busi
nessman who made Terrytoons
an important force in the movies
and, later, in television.
"Disney is the Tiffany's in
this business, I am the Wool-
worth's,” Terry liked to say.
Through his doors passed
such talents as Jules Feiffer,
Joseph Barbera — half of the
Hanna-Barbera team that cre
ated the "Flintsones” — and
Ralph Bakshi, who produced
the first X-rated cartoon, "Fritz
the Cat.”
Terry made his name with
cartoons of Aesop's Fables,
which used animals to tell a
story and provide a "moral" that
usually bore only passing refer
ence to the story the audience
had just seen.
One of Terry's most memor
able sight gags — and one which
he used for all it was worth —
was the concept of "raining cats
and dogs” to which viewers
were treated to a steady stream
of cats and dogs pouring from
the heavens onto Farmer Alfal
fa's pastures.
Terrytoons began in the 1920s
as silent cartoons, and were
embellished in the '30s with the
advent of sound, color in the
1940s and television in the
1950s.
By the '60s, the studio was
creating made-for-TV shows
such as "Deputy Dawg” and
"Hector Heathcote."
But by the end of the '60s, film
distributors were content to re
lease made-for-TV cartoons to
the theaters and, with competi
tion from Warner Bros, and
Hanna-Barbera on the West
Coast, the demand for the East
Coast Terrytoons declined.
But Viacom, present owner of
Terrytoons and 20th Century
Fox continues to re-release old
Terrytoons worldwide.
"I've always felt that when
you went to a movie and you
saw that there was going to be a
cartoon on before the feature —
no matter how old you were — it
was like somebody just gave
you a lollipop," a Viacome offi
cial says.
Doug Crane, 47, another Ter-
rytoon alumnus and freelance
animator, who recently worked
on the "Really Rosie" television
special and the "Raggedy Ann
and Andy” theatrical bemoans
the demise of the studio. "Ev
erything is freelance on the East
Coast now. There's no place for
young animators to train.
"My son wants to be an ani
mator and when things are slow
I'll critique his stuff, but when
I'm working I just don't have the
time. Where are animators
going to learn their trade?”
