Fred Quimby is the producer of Tom and Jerry Cartoons. Did you enjoy watching Tom and Jerry as a child?

The source of this citation is from wikipedia. "In 1939, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera presented Quimby with a proposal for a series of cartoons featuring a cat and a mouse." Another excerpt from wikipedia."As producer, Quimby became a repeated recipient of the Academy Award for Animated Short Film for the Tom and Jerry films, though he never invited Hanna and Barbera onstage when he accepted the awards. His name became well known due to its prominence in the cartoon credits, and Quimby took sole credit for approving and producing the Tom and Jerry series[citation needed]. Quimby was not involved in the creative process and had a difficult relationship with animators, including Hanna and Barbera, who believed that Quimby was not fit for a real animation leader"." In your opinion do you think Hanna and Barbera should get the credit for the cartoons or Quimby because he accepted the risk of being the producer for the cartoon?
