According to foreign media sources, Oscar-winning illustrator, animator, film director and producer Gene Deitch died at the age of 95.
His Czech publisher, Petr Himmel, revealed to the media that Deich died unexpectedly in his apartment in Prague on the night of the 16th, but did not disclose more details.
Speaking of Jean Deich, two of his masterpieces must be household names, Popeye and Tom and Jerry, and from 1960 to 1963, Deich and Rembrandt collaborated on the Popeye animated series and produced 13 Tom and Jerry shorts for MGM.
Deech's life is very legendary, he has drawn designs for airlines, worked as an illustrator and interior designer, and then worked as a sound recordist, comic book creator and animation, film director and many other jobs.
During his lifetime, he won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, but it was Tom and Jerry that really brought him credit.
This cartoon not only uses exaggerated techniques, but the soundtrack is the most worthy of study. A lot of symphonies are used in cartoons, and I believe this is also the enlightenment of many people's classical music, but everyone may not realize it.
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
This tune appears in episode 29 of Tom and Jerry, where Tom cat wears a tuxedo to play for everyone, and it is a serious book that also brings a lot of joy.
"Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" is the most well-known and representative piano solo in Liszt's works, which shapes a distinct Hungarian national character and is also a piece created by Liszt for his life experience, full of romance.
Chopin's 24 Preludes: D Minor
The tune appears in the opening credits of Episode 29 of Tom and Jerry.
Chopin's 24 Preludes: D Minor is one of the grandest tracks in this series, which is very exciting and shocking after listening, and the bass part is not tired but impressive.
Rhapsody in Blue
Whenever I hear this song, I always think of Tom's cat chasing Jerry.
"Rhapsody in Blue" was composed by composer George Guéshwen, and this piece is a very interesting piece of music that combines classical music and jazz.
Fantasy Improvisation
The song appears in episode 132 of Tom and Jerry, where Tom drives Jerry into the snow and ice while lying in a warm bed, and with this song Tom cat reminiscing about the days he had spent with Jerry before, he couldn't bear to bring Jerry home again.
"Fantasy Improvisation" was composed by the piano poet Chopin, this improvisation known as the posthumous work, which was not published during his lifetime, this improvisational song has a quiet part and an active part, and basically practices this piece among the piano learners who study the deeper level.
Sleeping Beauty
The tune appears in Episode 85 of Tom and Jerry, where Jerry and his nephew turn on all the water pipes and turn the kitchen into an ice rink, dancing to the tune.
The Sleeping Beauty Round Dance is the fifth of the Sleeping Beauty suite and is Tchaikovsky's classic ballet repertoire.
The William Retreat Overture
The tune appears in Episode 36 of Tom and Jerry, The Old Rocking Chair and Tom.
"Wilhelm Retreat" is the work of the German writer Schiller, later written by the Italian composer Rossini into the opera of the same name, and was called by the audience as "a patriotic play with high realistic significance, a powerful voice to arouse the people's national consciousness and resist foreign insults.".
Song of Spring
The song appears in episode 23 of Tom and Jerry, where Tom, despite having a sexual encounter, is caught up in the agony of love.
"Song of Spring" is selected from Mendelssohn's piano solo collection "Song without Words", which is the most famous piece of all the "wordless songs" created by Mendelssohn, with a gentle romantic melody like flowing water, bringing a very happy atmosphere.
I would like to express my regret and admiration for the death of the old artist Jean Deich, who brought a lot of joy and innocence to our childhood, and the film he created was even the enlightenment of classical music for many audiences, may he always be innocent and happy in heaven!
