Chuck Jones "Tom & Jerry" coming to DVD - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Jones couldn't go back to Looney Tunes at that point because Warner Bros. shut their cartoon studio down and farmed out cartoon work to two independent studios, DePatie-Freleng (makers of The Pink Panther) and Format Films (Al Brodax Popeye and the 1961 Alvin Show). The low budgets and the curious pairing of Daffy Duck with Speedy Gonzales didn't sit well with W-B cartoon fans.

But as pointed out, Jones himself wasn't too crazy about his Tom and Jerry cartoons.
