A major exhibition honouring the work of legendary animator Chuck Jones opens at the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Sciences in Los Angeles tomorrow.
‘Chuck Jones – A Life from A to Z-z-z’ showcases iconic characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Pepe Le Pew, Wile E. Coyote, created or developed by Jones.
According to the Academy’s website, Jones’s prolific, award-winning career as an animator & director will be celebrated with “more than 150 drawings, storyboards, cels and dialogue sheets from Jones’s animated short films, features and television specials, including “Elmer’s Candid Camera,” “For Scent-Imental Reasons,” “Duck Amuck,” “Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century,” “From A to Z-Z-Z-Z,” “What’s Opera, Doc?,” “Guided Mouse-ille” and “The Dot and the Line,” for which he (along with producer Les Goldman) won an Academy Award® in the Cartoon Short Subject category in 1965″.
The exhibition is presented in association with the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and runs throughout the summer.
One Comment
Will someone make a Chuck Jones biopic if it had a good well written script or what? It will be interesting to see what it be like.
