description: "William Lorenzo Bunt, known professionally as Dean Elliott, was an American television and film composer best known for his work in animation. Born in Sioux City, Iowa, he began his composing career in 1950 with the early comedy program Four Star Revue before establishing himself through scores for cartoon series including Mr. Magoo. He is particularly noted for his long collaboration with animation director Chuck Jones, for whom he composed the scores of numerous Tom and Jerry cartoons between 1965 and 1967, as well as later theatrical and television productions including The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979) and Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over (1980), the latter of which received an Emmy Award nomination."
