Chuck Jones remains one of the great names of American animation, credited with presenting and directing snappy ideas for Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, creating the Road Runner and Coyote, and spoofing Charles Boyer with the skunk Pepe Le Pew.
This documentary follows the threads of Jones' career from his days as a cel washer through to the highs of Termite Terrace and later work for MGM and as an independent animator. There are clips galore of the top cartoons, especially from Looney Tunes days, as well as contributions from family, collaborators, and Jones himself, at that time still an active and sprightly 80-something.
Engrossing, interesting, and almost a fan letter to the cartoon, 'Chuck Jones: Extremes and In-Betweens' is definitely worth your time if you like the antics of the W-B gang, or want to see how a master of his craft works.
