Chuck Jones - The Evolution of an Artist
Video Overview & Insights
If you grew up watching Looney Tunes, then you know Chuck Jones, one of all-time masters of visual comedy. Normally I would talk about his ingenious framing and timing, but not today. Instead, I’d like to explore the evolution of his sensibilities as an artist. To see the names of the films, press the CC button and select “Movie Titles.”

Chuck Jones was probably my parents' favorite animation director.
My dad liked the Coyote/Road Runner, Marvin the Martian, and Wolf/Sheepdog cartoons.
My mom liked Pepe LePew, Charlie Dog, and Michigan J. Frog.

The amount of rich people who tell me “cartoons are just for kids” has been steadily increasing with illiteracy.
Carl Stalling - "Scentimental Romeo," "Guided Muscle,” "Feline Frame-Up,” “Rabbit Seasoning," “Duck! Rabbit, Duck!”
Milt Franklyn - “One Froggy Evening,” "Robin Hood Daffy,” “What’s Opera, Doc?"
Chuck Jones is a legend

What’s Opera Doc, is his finest work…
@jeffreylawrence6928John Lasseter had a influence to chuck jones
@angelaparente4470Those were the times when animators had free will.
@theepic1944There's a person whose art is missed.
@StereoSpaceI love Chuck Jones' work. Whenever I saw cartoons, especially episodes of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, I never missed one if I saw his name in the credits.
@PhilippeDessoly5:30 that isn’t true, watch buckaroo bugs for once and speak to me again
@KevinChainSpencerChuck got the RoanRunner/Coyote gag from Mark Twain's "Roughing It", except in the book it was a Dog chasing a Coyote.
@paulmarley4136I love you bugs bunny rabbit And cute And beautiful And beautiful And cute 😍🥰😙😚😊☺️😗😘💗💗💗💗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰😂🤣😆
@AwsAlyaseenIf he were still alive, he could return to looney tunes and tom and jerry projects or potentially drawing countryhumans.
@TheOfficialSupermanHe also did amazing work for MGM on Tom and Jerry.
@shawnhensley4884Charles M. Jones a genius and true visionary waaay ahead of his own time. RIP good Sir
@johnryan5582❤❤❤❤❤❤
@negeen4203Great video. I grew up watching Looney Tunes and they inspired my art and imagination. 🙏
@DavidListen_BuddhismI sat next to (the voice of) Popeye at Tex Avery's memorial services. What fun.
@scrunchymacscruff1244They always had the best cartoons!!!
@jaredharris1940Chuck Jones was my favorite Warner Brothers director.😂 He'll be greatly missed.😢
@docdee770That's all folks
@NickEvans-i2xConsider the descriptions of Daffy Duck, starting at 2.15 to 2.50 ... and substitute the name 'Donald Trump'.
Scarily accurate apart from the phrase "less crazy."
What a video. Thank you.
@carlsmith4568Chuck Jones is a genius just like Tex Avery
@PurpleLibra-t10j20No CHANCE...NO CHANCE! Out of all the cartoon characters, King BUGS! No one have a
chance in a fight against BUGS! He'll shove a stick of dynamite up your butt in a heartbeat!
this one really works on the heels of the buster keaton one
@matt39581Discipline:
Not killing Superman.
Batman never kills.
Chuck Jones
8:20 Hooray for inspiration. A professional once said that only amateurs worked on inspiration (implying that professionals worked on specific given tasks and deadlines). My response was, no wonder there is so much uninspired professional crap out there.
@wbiroDaffy Duck..so witty and funny..😂😂
@panmad6156Glad to have grown up watching this on Saturday mornings as a kid...
@timmit3579Absolutely to this day, LOVE luney toons.
They really made the best of the "freedom of humor" they enjoyed in those days.
When Sylvester "meowed" I about died laughing.
Duck season
@bjorn301It's pure gold
@Inthemaking321Every frame was perfect. But not only that, the FLUITIDY was something that couldn't be replicated even by shows emulating the golden Looney Tunes later on. Disney was the only other company with this level of smoothness in the animation but it was not nearly as funny or clever for the most part.
@matthewanipen2418My dad loved these cartoons and no matter how often he saw them, he chuckled. His particular favourite was Foghorn Leghorn.
@sphinxtheeminx3:15 LOL
@NelsonAnimations241His drawing style is exquisite.
@Red-JonesI have no way to gauge this, but I can only hope that kids nowadays grow up seeing some of these classic cartoons and not just cocomelon and skibidi toilet.
@three_seashellsMy favourite part of this is that every lesson we can learn from Chuck Jones' work can be applied to almost any kind of art, dramatic or comedic. Creative writing is a longtime hobby of mine and every lesson conveyed in this video has been such a huge influence on me and my own evolution in the craft. I genuinely feel inspired and thankful every time I watch this video.
@furioussherman7265I went to Chuck Jones's 80th birthday show at the Hollywood Bowl. Most memorable was the big screen showing of "What's Opera Doc?" with a live orchestra.
@eddiewillers1One of the greatest Animation directors of all time... but... Bob Clampett better
