In 1981, Beck teamed with Will Friedwald to produce the filmography THE WARNER BROS. In the course of doing this work, Beck became well versed in the histories and films of every Hollywood cartoon studio. Beck began his career assisting Leonard Maltin as ‘research associate’ on his landmark book, OF MICE AND MAGIC: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN ANIMATED CARTOONS (McGraw Hill/Plume 1980). But his interest in animation’s history led him down another, darker path. JERRY BECK, once upon a time, studied at The School Of Visual Arts in New York City intent on becoming a great animator. Jerry is aided on this blog by a select group of respected colleagues and historians who also share their enthusiasm for the field, it’s history and its legacy. This site celebrates classic cartoons from all over the world – with a special emphasis on Hollywood studio animation.
