"A small child once said to me: 'You don't draw Bugs Bunny, you draw pictures of Bugs Bunny.’ That’s a very profound observation because it means he thinks the characters are alive, which, as far as I am concerned, is true."
Chuck Jones (1912-2002) was born on this date.

#ChuckJones was one of the artists that had the biggest impact on developing #BugsBunny. He was a hard progressive/FDR Social Democrat if not a full on leftist as he had to hide it after the McCarthy era (helped by #Disney) if he ever wanted to work again. When he was young in the 30s he set up a guillotine in front of the Disney studio during a worker's strike. Under artists before him, Bugs would often screw with people just for fun. Under Jones, Bugs was always just fighting back in self-defense as the little guy.
Jones ran his studios much more horizontally, as opposed to the top-down dictatorial system Disney had where artists would wait for weeks after reaching a point, sitting around and waiting for their dear leader to come in the night before and look at their work, then have to present the work the next day as if he had never seen it before in a very subservient manner.
Bugs was the confident every man, he's always been left leaning towards chaos and anarachy/ism. There is a reason Chuck Jones' Bug resonates so much. Disney was pushing the monarchism/authoritarianism narratives from times past(also doesn't help that Disney welcomed members of the Nazi party to his studios just after Kristallnacht), Jones was pushing the self-determination/out witting the overwhelming odds with a grin and a joke just as Jones and his parents had been forced to deal with under the constant oppression of union busters. -

On September 19, 1942, Warner Bros. released a Looney Tunes short that heralded a marked change in the tone of the series.
Directed by Chuck Jones, 'The Dover Boys at Pimento University' instituted the zanier, wacky style of comedy that the Looney Tunes are known for today.
The short is also one of the handful of Warner Bros. shorts that is in the #PublicDomain so you can watch it at the link below!

Okay, I don't know who #Minynaranja is, but she appears to have invented a video-driven genre of #clowning by which she basically turns herself into a cartoon character ... without any digital image manipulation of any kind. Amazing stuff. Like #Chaplin meets #ChuckJones.

Recently, I used a super-creative and deceptively simple brainstorming technique from the world of Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck!
Find out how why it worked so darned well, Doc!

"Rocket Bye Baby" (1956) is a great later Chuck Jones cartoon. Silliness surrounding martian and earth babies getting separated at birth. Amazing character designs and layout. The art direction is so simple and bold. This is one of Chuck's best: funny, well designed, beautifully acted and animated. #looneytunes #cartoons #animation #chuckjones #wbcartoons

#ChuckJones, the brilliant #animator who conceived of this most clever depiction of the banality and inevitability of repeated failure in the modern world, actually had “Rules” for the Willy E Coyote.

CW: Bugs Bunny Musings
#ChuckJones' mantra about the writing for Bugs Bunny was: "Bugs must always be provoked."
I wonder what #TexAvery's mantra on the nature of the Rabbit was.
I know what I think: Tex's Rabbit was a #psycho.
I think Avery probably was, too.
Fun (and perhaps revealing) Fact: Tex Avery was from #TaylorTexas.

The 'Fresh Air' interview with '#LooneyTunes' animator
#ChuckJones : NPR -
Hi folks! I'm #WinsorMcCay. I was born in East Zorra Township in SW Ontario way back in Sep 1867... so I guess that makes me (barely) Canadian, eh? I created Little Nemo In #Slumberland in 1905 but I received no screen credit in the most excellent Francis Lawrence adaptation. Now does that seem fair to you?
The two most important people in animation are Winsor McCay & #WaltDisney... and I'm not sure which should go first.
