Original Animation Production Pencil 1930\'s Harman and Ising Cigar Art Hugh Harman(August 31, 1903 – November 25, 1982) andRudolf Carl\"Rudy\"Ising(August 7, 1903 – July 18, 1992) were an Americananimationteam best known for founding theWarner Bros.andMetro-Goldwyn-Mayeranimation studios. They are particularly celebrated for Harman\'s 1939 antiwar MGM cartoonPeace on Earthand Ising won anOscarfor the MGM cartoonThe Milky Wayin 1940.

Harman and Ising first worked in animation in the early 1920s atWalt Disney\'s studio inKansas City. When Disney moved operations toCalifornia, Harman, Ising, and fellow animatorCarman Maxwellstayed behind to try to start their own studio. Their plans went nowhere, however, and the men soon rejoined Disney to work on hisAlice ComediesandOswald the Lucky Rabbitfilms. It was during this time, that Harman and Ising developed a style of cartoon drawing that would later be closely associated with, and credited to, Disney.

When producerCharles Mintzended his association with Disney, Harman and Ising went to work for Mintz, whose brother-in-law, George Winkler, set up a new animation studio to make theOswaldcartoons. The Oswald cartoons which Harman and Ising produced in 1928 and 1929 already show their distinctive style, which would later characterize their work on theLooney TunesandMerrie Melodiescartoon series for Warner Bros.[1]For example, inSick Cylinders(1929)[2]there are sequences which were later remade very closely in such Harman and Ising Warner Bros. efforts asSinkin\' in the Bathtub(1930)[3]andBosko\'s Holiday(1931).[4]The Oswald cartoons that Harman and Ising worked on are completely different from the Oswald cartoons made before and after Disney and can easily be distinguished by anyone familiar with their work.[1]Late in 1929,Universal Pictureswho owned the rights to Oswald, started its own animation studio headed byWalter Lantz, replacing Mintz and forcing Harman and Ising out of work
