	Chuck Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Martin "Chuck" Jones (September 21, 1912–February 22, 2002) was an American animator, cartoon artist, screenwriter, producer, and director of animated films, most memorably of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts for the Warner Brothers cartoon studio.
		Jones was born in Spokane, Washington, and later moved with his parents and three siblings to the Los Angeles, California area.
		Jones credits this cartoon as the film where he "learned how to be funny." The Dover Boys is also one of the first uses of Stylized animation in American film, breaking away from the more realistic animation styles influenced by the Disney Studio.

		Chuck Jones (September 21, 1912 - February 22, 2002) was an American artist and director of animated films, most memorably for the Warner Brothers movie studio.
		Often slow-moving and overbearing with "cuteness," Jones' cartoons seemed to be an attempt to follow in the footsteps of Walt Disney (especially with such cartoons as Tom Thumb in Trouble and the Sniffles cartoons), until he broke new ground with the cartoon The Dover Boys in 1942.
		Jones credits this cartoon as the film where he "learned how to be funny." The cartoon is also seen as one of the first major attempts in animation to break away from the style of ultra-"realism" in animation.

	MichaelBarrier.com -- Funnyworld Revisited: Chuck Jones Interview
		Chuck Jones in a late-sixties MGM publicity photo, as he appeared at the time of the interview for Funnyworld.
		Jones: I can envisage several areas where I’m sure it would be useful, just as Xerox is. For example, in One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), they had a hundred and one dogs, and in a couple of shots there were acres and aces of puppies.
		Jones: The most neglected aspect, and the saddest thing now, is that there are only two studios, this one and Disney's, that are utilizing the talents of full animators, journeyman animators, in the proudest sense of the term.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		Most Jones proponents argue that these cartoons are suited to the sophisticated tastes of adults, but I think something is lost by not taking into account the original intended audience: children.
		Viewing a Jones masterpiece simultaneously evokes the childhood experience of helpless laughter (given the rapid-fire pace of gags) and calls into question the solidity and stability of the world as the ground seems to literally shift under you.
		Jones sometimes expresses the control theme in the language of his cartoons.

		Jones' credit as a director was that he allowed each member of his team to display their talents.
		Jones didn't direct as much as he orchestrated, enabling each team member to create and express their ideas while still keeping them within the framework of the story and characters.
		It should not be taken that all Jones did was sit back and point, on the contrary he was an accomplished artist who broke into animation as a cel washer; it's important because it shows that he indeed knew the business from the bottom up.

	Chuck Jones
		Jones was not, of course, the pure author of his own fate, no matter how he toyed with the lives of his characters.
		Like the rest of us, Chuck Jones, the man, was born at a definite date into a mortal body; one destined to die at an equally definite time and place.
		Jones' characters were thus designed knowingly as virtual avatars of his own unknown life: their possibility was usually found in some intimate impossibility he would discover within himself, some fragment of himself that he would see escaping himself in the mirror.

		Chuck Jones, who has died aged 89, once asked whether it was Lyonel Feininger or Kandinsky who said that an artist takes a dot out for a walk.
		Jones was born in Spokane, Washington, but brought up in California where his father, who "loved his children but hated having a family", tried innumerable get-rich-quick schemes.
		Come 1955, and Jones worked for several, uncredited months on Disney's Sleeping Beauty, as Warners, "responding to the obvious logic that all films would soon be 3D and that all babies would be born with one green and one red retina", closed their cartoon plant.

		While Jones in his prime had usually been careful not to let Bugs heckle anyone without sufficient provocation ("Without such threats," he wrote, "Bugs is far too capable a rabbit to evoke the necessary sympathy"), he would also let Bugs inflict a lot of hilarious, gleeful damage once provoked.
		Perhaps Jones' most disappointing project from the MGM period was his 1971 TV special based on Walt Kelly's great comic strip, "Pogo." Kelly's work, with its combination of satire and slapstick, seemed ideal for animation, and the Chuck Jones of 1950 might have been perfect for the project.
		The Chuck Jones of 1971 was another matter, and even though Kelly was credited with the script and some of the voice work, he was reportedly displeased with Jones' finished product.

	TIME.com: That Old Feeling: Remembering Chuck Jones -- Page 1
		Chuck Jones was a genius of comic movement and dialogue, and a genuine animator —; he breathed soul into his creatures.
		Jones swore that the Warners believed their unit was the Mickey Mouse house — "and when he found out we weren't, he closed us down." This was in 1963; after a quarter century directing terrific, profitable, studio-defining films, Jones was earning all of $37,500 a year.
		The writer was Jones' all-time hero and an evident model for his life and career — ornery, independent, compassionate, unswayed by flattery but generous to flatterers and critics alike — though Chuck's humor was all his own.
