| | Chuck Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jones had a penchant for cuteness in his earliest days as is visible in his cartoons featuring Sniffles the Mouse. | | | Jones hit his stride in the late 1940s, and continued to make his best-regarded works through the 1950s. | | | Jones, like the rest of his Termite Terrace associates after the departure of Schlesinger, has been criticized for using repetitive plots, most obvious in the Pepe Le Pew and Road Runner cartoons. |

| | MichaelBarrier.com -- Funnyworld Revisited: Chuck Jones Interview |
| | [Jones speaks of Leon Schlesinger, his boss as the producer of the Warner Bros. Cartoons in the thirties and early forties, with amused contempt. | | | As I explain in Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age, Jones was forced out of his job, after almost thirty years with the cartoon studio, in a dispute with Warners’ management over whether he had violated his contract by co-writing the script for the UPA feature Gay Purr-ee. | | | Jones himself left the studio in 1962, but it did not close until 1963. |

| | Jones would further lay influence on the artists who would form UPA when he directed 'Hellbent for Election' in 1944 for the Industrial Film and Poster Service, a collection of artists who would morph the company into UPA. | | | It's obvious that Chuck Jones was, and remains to be, a much-studied artist. | | | It must be noted that Jones' official title for much of his career was that of 'Director' and he was fortunate enough to direct some amazing talents including design artist Maurice Noble and writer Michael Maltese. |

| | Jones sometimes expresses the control theme in the language of his cartoons. | | | Though his cartoons have been criticized for their violence -- which of course is G-rated by today's standards -- that criticism seems to me absurd. | | | The cat runs terrified from his home and is last seen cowering bug-eyed at the top of a tree. |

| | Jones had a golden decade at WB ending in the mid-'50s, but the rest of his career never lived up to that period. | | | Jones' disinformation campaign certainly hasn't reached the public, which continues to enjoy Clampett's cartoons alongside the equally great work of Jones, Freleng and others; nor does it detract from the enjoyment of Jones' best work. | | | Chuck Jones undoubtedly created some of the finest cartoons ever made, but his spotty legacy deserves another look. |

| | I've been a fan of Chuck's work for quite a long time, and when I started to get into cartooning his work was a huge influence on me. | | | They invited everyone in the world to send cards, letters, e-mails, and drawings to Chuck to tell him how much his work has touched their hearts. | | | I was looking up information on some of the recent cartoons Chuck produced for Warner Bros. when I came upon an interview he gave with the satirical news magazine The Onion. |

| | Chuck Jones - animator |
| | Chuck Jones has been over-credited as the genius behind the stable of Warner Brothers cartoons characters such as Daffy, Bug Bunny, the Coyote, Roadrunner, Pepe Le Pew, and many others, in part because he happened to outlive all the others whose contributions made them so great. | | | If the later Jones was not quite as memorable as his Warner Brothers cartoons at their height, perhaps it was because he no longer faced any adversity. | | | Jones’ Duck Amuck, from 1953, puts Daffy into a landscape in which the cartoonist’s pencil is visible, constantly changing things. |

| | The Critical Eye Chuck Jones: A Flurry of Drawings |
| | Of Jones' five-decade career, the best known and most discussed portion is that comprised of his twenty-odd years at the Warner studio, and of that a certain slice out of the 1950s. | | | For the most part, the book focuses on Jones's work at the Warner studio; his work on such projects as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and the Oscar-winning The Dot and the Line are glossed over, mostly discussed only in the context of explaining his animation technique. | | | Like all great raconteurs he tends to have formulaic versions of key stories, and when what I heard was almost word for word what another interviewer had heard I felt under no obligation to dwell on the fact. |

| | Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Chuck Jones |
| | In 1980, Jones produced an actual new cartoon for one of the TV specials — Duck Dodgers in the Return of the 24½th Century, a sequel to his 1953 Buck Rogers spoof. | | | Schlesinger's studio supplied the cartoons released by Warner Bros., and it happened to have a crying need for good animation men just then — Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising, whose studio supplied those same cartoons to Schlesinger so Schlesinger could supply them to Warner, had quit, and started supplying their cartoons to MGM instead. | | | In the late '70s, Jones started working with the old Warner Bros. characters again, as his production company packaged those old cartoons into prime-time TV specials with new interstitial animation. |

| | Chuck Jones |
| | Although born elsewhere, he was brought up on the Sunset strip, where he was able to absorb fundamental lessons in comic timing from the nearby Chaplin studios, and it was there too, within the protecting yet notoriously porous confines of 'termite terrace', that most of his beloved characters would come to life. | | | There will certainly not be room to enumerate the many elements of Jones' irreducible style as an animatic auteur, let alone the implications of the 'whole' that emerges through and across all the singular experiments in characterisation that comprise his life's work. | | | There is more than a touch of Kafka and the ever-persecuted 'K' in the almost anonymously named 'Chuck Jones'. |

| | Bugs Bunny was hesitantly, even accidentally, conceived by Jones in the late-1930s, and his gestation was elephantine, with the name finally acquired when he surfaced in Porky's Hare Hunt (1940), co-directed by Bugs Hardaway. | | | After flunking high school, Jones went to art school but made no mark. | | | It was as well that movie-houses demanded these cartoon shorts, for Jones's paymasters never understood their value. |
