JIM TYER
Amazing Animators No. 19
JIM TYER
James Tyer nasce il 7 febbraio 1904 a Bridgeport, nel Connecticut, da John F. e Mary E. Tyer, entrambi nati nel Massachusetts e di ascendenze irlandesi. La famiglia è numerosa, poiché Jim è l'ultimo di sette figli: prima di lui nascono Peter J., Catherine, Lucy A., Mary, John e William P.
Nel 1910 Jim continua a risiedere a Bridgeport insieme con la madre, i fratelli e le sorelle, ma il padre è già deceduto. Nel 1920 risiede ancora a Bridgeport, ma presso il cognato Bernard Melady, che ha sposato sua sorella Catherine.
Il suo debutto nel campo dell'animazione ha luogo nel 1926 con lo Aesop's Fables Studio di New York, che ha come comproprietari l'animatore Paul Terry e la catena teatrale Keith-Albee.
Nel 1928 Tyer sposa Margaret Esther Lee, sua coeva e nativa del Massachusetts, che nel 1930 gli dà una prima figlia, Margaret detta Peggy.
Tyer continua a lavorare con lo Aesop's Fables Studio dopo che questo viene rilevato da Amadee Van Beuren nel 1929. Tyer lavora come animatore, regista e sceneggiatore per vari cortometraggi delle serie Tom e Jerry, The Little King, Burt Gillett's Toddle Tales e Rainbow Parade.
In questi anni Tyer è attivo nel sindacato. Insieme con gli altri animatori di Van Beuren Hicks Lokey, John McManus e Bill Littlejohn fonda un "Club John Reed" di artisti affiliati con la Unemployed Artists Association, che diverrà poi la Artists Union.
Nel 1935 si trasferisce con la famiglia in California e lavora per alcuni mesi allo Studio Disney a Hollywood sui cortometraggi della serie Silly Symphony, soprattutto come animatore degli effetti.
A quanto pare torna brevemente a lavorare per Van Beuren nel 1936, poi si trasferisce a Detroit e collabora con la Jamison Handy Organization, che produce cartoni animati sponsorizzati, soprattutto per Chevrolet. Tyer sembra essere in forza allo studio Jam Handy nel 1936 e di nuovo nel 1939-40. Nel 1938-39 è ancora una volta in California, dove lavora come animatore e sceneggiatore allo studio MGM, gestito da Hugh Harman e Rudolf Ising.
Nel 1940 risiede a Detroit con moglie e figli. Una terza figlia, Mary Lou, è nata nel 1938 nel Connecticut.
La mossa successiva di Tyer è verso i Famous Studios (già Fleischer, ora in comproprietà con Paramount) alla fine del 1941, quando lo studio è ancora a Miami, in Florida. Inizialmente impiegato come sceneggiatore, Tyer torna a New York quando i Famous Studios vi si trasferiscono nei primi mesi del 1943. Continua a lavorare come animatore e direttore dell'animazione, principalmente sui cortometraggi di Popeye (Braccio di Ferro), fino all'inizio del 1947. Come sottolinea Mark Mayerson, "Qui lo stile distorto di Tyer entra nel vivo, e Braccio di Ferro e Bluto diventano di gomma sotto la sua matita".
Il 1943 ha segnato il debutto di Tyer nei fumetti. È uno dei tanti artisti di animazione reclutati da Jim Davis per lavorare su fumetti con "animali buffi" per lo studio di Leon Sangor. Nel suo stile gommoso, sciolto e a tratti surreale, Tyer scrive e disegna numerose storie con una varietà di personaggi, tra i quali spicca Pete Parrot, Rookie Policeman. Queste storie appaiono sugli albi pubblicati da ACG, Better/Standard e altre editrici minori fino al 1947.
Nei primi mesi del 1947, Tyer lascia i Famous Studios, attratto dal suo ex datore di lavoro, Paul Terry. Si unisce dunque alla Terrytoons, dove resterà fino al 1959. Prende attivamente parte allo sciopero 1947 presso lo studio fino a quando varca il picchetto tornando a lavorare il 15 novembre. Anche se i cortometraggi della Terrytoons sono solitamente di scarso valore, Tyer riesce a dare il meglio di sé come animatore, godendo della libertà totale concessagli da registi quali Connie Rasinski, Mannie Davis e Eddie Donnelly, per Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jeckle, Little Roquefort e più tardi per Gaston le Crayon, John Doormat, Clint Clobber e Sidney.
Mentre è animatore per i Terrytoons, Tyer disegna anche le versioni a fumetti dialcuni dei loro personaggi per fumetti pubblicati da St. John e successivamente da Pines. Tyer tratteggia "animali buffi" anche per altri editori quali Chesler/Dynamic (1943), Round (attraverso Jason Comic Art, 1946), Marvel (1946-47), Ajax/Farrell/Four Star (1946-54), Dell/Western (1947), Fawcett (1947-49) e Star (1951).
Dopo aver lasciato la Terrytoons nel 1959, Tyer inizia a lavorare all'animazione televisiva con il Trans-Lux Studio di Joe Oriolo, che produce Felix the Cat e Mighty Hercules. Disegna inoltre diverse storie di Felix per i fumetti pubblicati da Dell nel 1962-63. Dopo un'altra breve esperienza alla Terrytoons nel 1962, Tyer contribuisce all'animazione di Out of the Inkwell (una nuova versione della serie di Fleischer che ha per protagonista Koko the Clown) per Hal Seeger. Nel 1962-63 è alla Paramount, dove anima Snuffy Smith e Barney Google. Poi torna da Hal Seeger e anima per la TV Milton the Monster e Batfink fino al 1966, quando fa un'altra breve esperienza alla Paramount.
La sua ultima animazione documentata è quella presso lo studio di Steve Krantz per il lungometraggio Fritz the Cat, tratto dal fumetto di Robert Crumb, che viene distribuito nel 1972. Il film è diretto da Ralph Bakshi, collega e amico di Tyer dai tempi della Terrytoons. Tyer anima la sequenza ambientata a Harlem. Si dice che Tyer, cattolico assai devoto, si dedichi senza fiatare al materiale a tratti assai "forte" che è chiamato ad animare, finché un giorno sbatte i disegni sul tavolo e molla in tronco il lavoro, pronunciando parole inenarrabili.
Tornato a risiedere a Fairfield, nel Connecticut, Jim Tyer scompare il 23 marzo 1976 a Bridgeport, all'età di 72 anni.
James Tyer was born on February 7, 1904 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, to John F. e Mary E. Tyer, both born in Massachusetts to Irish parents. His was a large family, as he was the youngest of seven children: siblings were Peter J., Catherine, Lucy A., Mary, John, and William P.
In 1910 Jim was still residing in Bridgeport with his mother, brothers and sister, whereas his father seems to have passed away. In 1920 he was still living in Bridgeport, at the home of brother-in-law Bernard Melady, who married sister Catherine.
His debut in the animation field took place in 1926 at the Aesop's Fables Studio in New York, which was co-owned by animator Paul Terry and the Keith-Albee theater chain.
In 1928 Tyer married Margaret Esther Lee, born 1904 in Massachusetts, and in 1930 a daughter, Margaret aka Peggy, was born.
Tyer continued working with the Aesop's Fables Studio after it was taken over by Amadee Van Beuren in 1929. Tyer served as animator, director and story-man on several Tom and Jerry, Little King and Burt Gillett's Toddle Tales shorts.
During these years Tyer became active in Trade Unions. Together with fellow Van Beuren animators Hicks Lokey, John McManus and Bill Littlejohn he started a John Reed club of artists affiliated with the Unemployed Artists Association, which later became the Artists Union.
By 1930 the Tyers were residing in Bridgeport at the home of Margaret's parents, Bernard and Mary Lee, both from Ireland. In 1932 son James Jr. was born.
In mid-1935 the Tyers moved to California where Jim worked for a few months at the Disney Studio in Hollywood on Silly Symphony shorts, mainly as an effects animator.
It looks like he briefly went back to working at Van Beuren in 1936, soon after moving to Detroit and the Jamison Handy Organization, which produced sponsored cartoons, mainly for Chevrolet. Tyer appears to have worked at Jam Handy in 1936 and again in 1939-40. In 1938-39 he was once again in California, working as an animator and story man at the MGM studio managed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising.
In 1940 the Tyers resided in Detroit, two years after daughter Mary Lou had been born in Connecticut.
Tyer's next move was to Famous Studios (formerly Fleischer, now co-owned by Paramount) in late 1941, when the studio was still located in Miami, Florida. Initially employed as a story man, Tyer moved back to New York when Paramount took over and Famous relocated there in early 1943. He continued working at Famous as an animator and animation director, primarily on Popeye shorts, until early 1947. As animation historian Mark Mayerson pointed out, "Here Tyer's distorted style came into its own, as Popeye and Bluto turned to rubber under Tyer's pen."
1943 marked Tyer's debut in comics. He was one of the many animation artists recruited by Jim Davis to work on funny animal comic books for the Leon Sangor studio. In his own rubbery, loose and rather surreal style, Tyer wrote and drew several stories featuring a variety of characters, the longest-lasting being Pete Parrot, Rookie Policeman. These stories appeared in comics titles published by ACG, Better/Standard and other minor publishers until 1947.
In early 1947, Tyer was lured away from Famous by his former employer, Paul Terry, and joined Terrytoons, where he would stay until 1959. He took active part in the 1947 strike at the studio until he finally crossed the picket line and went back to work on November 15. Although the Terrytoons shorts were usually very run-of-the-mill, Tyer did some of his best animation there, enjoying total freedom under such directors as Connie Rasinski, Mannie Davis and Eddie Donnelly, on shorts featuring Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, Little Roquefort and later on Gaston le Crayon, John Doormat, Clint Clobber, and Sidney.
While animating at Terrytoons, Tyer also drew the comics versions of several of their characters for the comic books published by St. John and later Pines. Tyer also drew funny animals for other such publishers as Chesler/Dynamic (1943), Round (through Jason Comic Art, 1946), Marvel (1946-47), Ajax/Farrell/Four Star (1946-54), Dell/Western (1947), Fawcett (1947-49), and Star (1951).
After leaving Terrytoons in 1959, Tyer started working on TV animation with Joe Oriolo's Trans-Lux Studio, which produced the Felix the Cat and Mighty Hercules series. He also drew several Felix stories for the comic books published by Dell in 1963-64. After another brief stint at Terrytoons in 1962, Tyer did some animation on Out of the Inkwell (a new version of the Fleischer series starring Koko the Clown) for Hal Seeger. In 1962-63 he was at Paramount, animating on Snuffy Smith and Barney Google. Then he went back to Hal Seeger, animating on the Milton the Monster and Batfink TV cartoons until 1966, when he did another brief stint at Paramount.
His last documented animation was done at the Steve Krantz studio on the cartoon feature, Fritz the Cat, from Robert Crumb's comic, which was released in 1972. The movie was directed by Ralph Bakshi, whom Tyer had made friends and worked with at Terrytoons. Tyer animated on the Harlem sequence. The story goes that Tyer, a very devout Catholic, quietly bore with the racy material he was called to animate until one day he just slammed down his work and, cursing all the way, walked off the job.
The Tyers went back to living in Fairfield, Connecticut, and Jim passed away in Bridgeport on March 23, 1976 at age 72.
