"I was always interested in cartooning."
-- George Sidney, 1987
One of Sidney's most innovative and creative film was the musical Anchors Aweigh (1945), starring actors Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra alongside MGM stock cartoon character Jerry the Mouse. In one creative sequence, Kelly and Jerry dance together in a pioneering blend of live action and animation. Sidney later became a founding member of Hanna-Barbera Productions, creator of such television cartoons as Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, and The Jetsons. |
