Frederick C. "Fred" Quimby (July 31, 1886 - September 16, 1965) was the producer of the MGM animated cartoon division, which most notably included the Tom and Jerry team of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
He was a repeated recipient of the Academy Award for Animated Short Film for the Tom and Jerry films. In their respective autobiographies, former directors stated they found this fact deeply aggravating. Many considered Quimby an obnoxious tyrant who needlessly interfered in their work while taking credit for it. Ironically, it is said that for a cartoon producer, Quimby lacked a sense of humour.[1]
