Rudolf Carl "Rudy" Ising (/ˈaɪzɪŋ/;[3] August 7, 1903 – July 18, 1992) was an American animator best known for collaborating with Hugh Harman to establish the Warner Bros. and MGM Cartoon[4] studios during the early years of 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.
The Warner Bros. and MGM studios owed their existence to Harman and Ising.
