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(xiàng)關(guān)于成年人最喜愛(ài)的卡通明星的調(diào)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(kāi)始制作161集動(dòng)畫(huà)片《貓和老鼠》，這部影片共獲得7項(xiàng)奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)。在這次調(diào)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(lè)園》）等卡通片里的諸多明星
。
少兒頻道“飛鏢”對(duì)1000名年齡在25歲到54歲之間的成年人進(jìn)行了調(diào)查。
該頻道負(fù)責(zé)人丹·巴蘭說(shuō)：“具有人類(lèi)特性的動(dòng)物是無(wú)敵組合。”
他還說(shuō)，調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，最受歡迎的是那些動(dòng)物角色。
“動(dòng)畫(huà)片《貓和老鼠》中充滿了不可思議的創(chuàng)造力和沒(méi)完沒(méi)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(gè)年齡段觀眾的原因?！?
“只有動(dòng)畫(huà)片《摩登原始人》、《大力水手》和《搞怪賽車(chē)》中的人類(lèi)形象榜上有名?！?
1969年投放市場(chǎng)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(guó)獨(dú)立電視臺(tái)（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(guó)作品，由大衛(wèi)·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(dòng)畫(huà)制作公司設(shè)計(jì)制作的。
翰納芭芭拉工作室創(chuàng)作的另一個(gè)動(dòng)畫(huà)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(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷以二十世紀(jì)五十年代的美國(guó)喜劇《The Phil Silvers
Show》為藍(lán)本，該片引進(jìn)英國(guó)時(shí)為了避免和一種貓糧品牌混淆，改名為Boss Cat。
