Prolific animator Gene Deitch, known for his work on the cartoons Popeye as well as Tom and Jerry, passed away on April 16, 2020, at the age of 95. During his six-decade career—one that started in the U.S. and ended in Prague—he had the opportunity to work not only on those shows but on numerous projects including an animated version of Maurice Sendak’s beloved Where the Wild Things Are.
