It went defunct in 1957, as most of the staff were moving to a another studio known as [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|H-B Enterprises]] (the leftovers of the complete Cinemascope MGM cartoons were released for theatrical release until August 1958). The Tom and Jerry series went on hitaus for 2 years until Gene Deitch revives the cat and mouse team in 1960. The studio would be succeeded by [[Sib Tower 12 Productions]] (renamed MGM Animation/Visual Arts in 1966), founded in 1962 by Chuck Jones, a former [[Warner Bros. Cartoons]] employee. | ||
Although the studio went defunct in 1957, MGM continued to use the "MGM Cartoons" name onscreen until 1967. | |||
