Rudolf Carl Ising (August 7, 1903 – July 18, 1992) was an American animator and voice actor who created the Warner Bros. Cartoons and MGM Cartoons[3] and his collaboration with Hugh Harman during the golden age of American animation. In 1940, Ising produced William Hanna and Joseph Barbera's first cartoon, Puss Gets the Boot, a cartoon featuring characters later known as Tom and Jerry.
He was born in Kansas City, Missouri on August 7, 1903.
He was employed alongside Hugh Harman by Walt Disney in his initial cartoon productions.
The final thing he did was a failed TV pilot named Sir Gee Whiz on the Other Side of The Moon in 1960.[4]
Ising died of cancer in Newport Beach on 18 July 1992 and is buried at Pacific View Memorial Park in California.
