Tom Ray (born 2 August, 1919) is an
American animator who began work at Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1937. Over the first two decades of his
career, he was a junior animator who received no screen credit until Destination Earth
in 1956. In 1958, he became a master animator in the Robert McKimson unit. Later, he transferred to the Chuck Jones
unit, where he co-directed Adventures of the Road-Runner and several
Bugs Bunny Show episodes. He followed Jones to M-G-M in 1963; there, he directed Matinee Mouse in 1966 and Shutter
Bugged Cat in 1967. After M-G-M closed its cartoon studio, Ray worked for several animation
houses, including DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and Hanna-Barbera. He rejoined Jones to do animation on Mrs. Doubtfire
and Superior Duck. He has since founded his own animation house.
