Tom and Jerry Wiki


Filmation Associates was a company that produced animation and live-action programming. The company was established in 1962. The same founders of Filmation collaborated with BelVision Studios, and also founded Sib Productions, which was acquired by Metro Goldwyn Mayer for Chuck Jones.

Filmation co-produced The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show with MGM Television. The show featured characters from other MGM cartoons in addition to Tom and Jerry.

Filmation was acquired by TelePrompTer Corporation in 1969 and sold to Westinghouse Broadcasting in 1982. The producers preferred to be fully staffed locally, which caused them to exceed their budget numerous times. Filmation closed in 1989, with its properties sold to various companies.
