I (like many other people) am certainly a very enthusiastic fan of Warner Bros.' Looney Tune cartoons from the 1940s & 50s. If you ask me - Those glorious days of yesteryear were, without question, when animation genius and excellence prevailed beyond compare.
Behind many of those wild, wacky & brilliant shorts from that unique era in cartoon history was, none other than, director Chuck Jones.
A 3-time Oscar winner, Chuck Jones (before he became a director) was originally on the team of animators who were instrumental in the development of such classic Looney Tune characters as - Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig & Daffy Duck, to name but a few.
Featuring dozens of cartoon clips, as well as interviews with big-name directors, Hollywood stars, family members (and even an interview with Chuck Jones, himself, in 1998), the viewer of this documentary learns (amongst other things) about the teamwork that went on behind the scenes at Warner Bros.' Animation Studios if those heydays.
Born in 1912 - Throughout his long career in the animation business, Chuck Jones is credited with directing a whopping 300 cartoons in all.
Sad to say - In 2002, Chuck Jones died at the golden age of 90.
