He was a repeated recipient of the Academy Award for Animated Short Film for the Tom and Jerry films. In their respective autobiographies, the directors noted that they found that deeply aggravating because they considered Quimby an obnoxious tyrant who needlessly interfered in their work while taking credit for it.
