Tom and Jerry top cartoon
survey | |
Tom and Jerry have chased each other to the top of a poll about which
cartoon stars adults most enjoyed.
The Hanna-Barbera duo - the
stars of 161 cartoons from 1940 and winners of seven Oscars - beat the
likes of Scooby-Doo, Top Cat and The Flinstones.
The survey of 1,000 adults aged between 25 and 54 was conducted on
behalf of children's TV channel Boomerang.
"Animals with human characteristics are an unbeatable combination,"
channel manager Dan Balaam said.
He said that animal characters had proved most popular in the survey.
"The shows are incredibly inventive and witty with an endless stream of
gags, which is why they appeal
to all ages.
"The only humans in the list are in the form of The Flinstones, Popeye
and The Wacky Races."
Scooby-Doo, launched in 1969 and recently made into a live-action movie starring Sarah
Michelle Gellar, came second.
Eye-patch wearing secret agent Dangermouse, who made his debut on ITV
in 1981, made it to third place.
The James Bond parody - with David Jason voicing Dangermouse and Terry
Scott as his sidekick Penfold
- is the only UK production on the list.
It was made by Manchester-based production house Cosgrove Hall.
Another Hanna-Barbera creation, Top Cat - the leader of a gang of New
York alley cats - came fourth.
His adventures, based on 1950s US comedy, The Phil Silvers Show, were
transmitted as Boss Cat in the UK to avoid confusion with a brand of cat
food.

在一項關于成年人最喜愛的卡通明星的調查中，湯姆和杰瑞在排行榜首你追我趕。
翰納芭芭拉二人工作室從1940年起開始制作161集動畫片《貓和老鼠》，這部影片共獲得7項奧斯卡獎。在這次調查中，湯姆和杰瑞擊敗了《史酷比》、《貓老大》和《摩登原始人》（又譯為《石頭城樂園》）等卡通片里的諸多明星
。
少兒頻道“飛鏢”對1000名年齡在25歲到54歲之間的成年人進行了調查。
該頻道負責人丹·巴蘭說：“具有人類特性的動物是無敵組合。”
他還說，調查結果顯示，最受歡迎的是那些動物角色。
“動畫片《貓和老鼠》中充滿了不可思議的創造力和沒完沒了的惡作劇噱頭，詼諧幽默，這就是湯姆和杰瑞之所以能吸引各個年齡段觀眾的原因。”
“只有動畫片《摩登原始人》、《大力水手》和《搞怪賽車》中的人類形象榜上有名。”
1969年投放市場的《史酷比》最近被改編成由莎拉·米歇爾主演的真人電影，史酷比在排行鎊上排名第二。
1981年首次在英國獨立電視臺（ITV）播出的戴眼罩間諜Dangermouse排名第三。
模仿詹姆士·邦德的滑稽劇是上榜的唯一一部英國作品，由大衛·詹森和特里·斯科特為Dangermouse 和他的同伴Penfold配音。
它是由總部位于曼徹斯特的Cosgrove Hall動畫制作公司設計制作的。
翰納芭芭拉工作室創作的另一個動畫形象貓老大位居第四，貓老大是紐約街頭一伙野貓的頭目。
他的冒險經歷以二十世紀五十年代的美國喜劇《The Phil Silvers
Show》為藍本，該片引進英國時為了避免和一種貓糧品牌混淆，改名為Boss Cat。
