When it was introduced in 1954, executive producer Edward Selzer considered it "distasteful" and ordered it retired, however Jack Warner loved the cartoon character and ordered additional cartoons created (Robert). By 1991, the Tasmanian Devil's popularity had reached cult status when "Taz-Mania" joined the Fox network's afternoon lineup (Robert).

For the most part, McKimson's cartoons were faster-paced and more graphic than those of other directors, and he is known for having a "squarer" style (McCorry). For example, Kevin McCorry points out that McKimson's "Bugs has droopier eyes and in earlier cartoons squatter and fatter legs, his Daffy has wider beak, and his Sylvester has fluffier, white cheek hair" (McCorry).

Vladimir (Bill) Tytla (1904-1968) is considered as "Animation's Michelangelo" (Vladimir). His most famous characters include the evil puppeteer, Stromboli, in "Pinocchino," the winged devil, Chernabog, in "Fantasia," and the baby elephant in "Dumbo" (Vladimir). As Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston recalled, "Everything was 'feelings' with Bill...He did not just get inside Stromboli, he was Stromboli and he lived the part" (Vladimir).

Unlike McKimson, who studied anatomy 'informally' for ten years, and studied one semester with Don Graham, Tytla enrolled in New York's Art Students League and studied painting in Paris.

Tytla began his career at Paul Terry's animation studio, but eventually joined the Walt Disney Studios in 1934 (Vladimir).

One of his first creations for Disney was Clarabelle Cow in the short "Mickey's Fire Brigade" and a dancing rooster in "Cock O' the Walk" (Vladimir). His genius was immediately recognized and he was assigned to develop the dwarfs in Disney's first full-length feature, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," and made certain that each dwarf constantly performed to his own personality (Vladimir). Tytla soon became one of Disney's highest paid animators.

Chernabog is regarded as his finest achievement, for he gave the character a range of emotions that depict pure evil to actual pain (Vladimir). Other notable film contributions include "Saludos Amigos," "Victory Through Air Power," and "Education for Death" (Vladimir).

Tytla left Disney in 1943 to work for other studios on various projects, such as the 1964 "The Incredible Mr. Limpet," a live-action and animated feature starring Don Knotts (Vladimir)
