An Insightful Documentary Profiling the Legendary Looney Toons Director and Animator Chuck Jones

In “Chuck Jones – The Evolution of an Artist”, filmmaker Tony Zhou of Every Frame a Painting profiles the legendary Chuck Jones, director and animator of countless Looney Toons and Merry Melodies cartoons. Zhou successful captured the creative sensibilities and the working philosophies of the artist and learned how the smallest things made the largest difference.

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.
