Customer Reviews of Chuck Jones - Extremes and In-Betweens, a Life in Animation
Warner Brothers marketing of Chuck's Image(s) in one DVD A definite "scrapvideo" for MOST Loony Tunes followers,"Chuck Jones - Extremes and In-Betweens, a Life in Animation" left me a taste of respect and motivation to Mr. Jones career through animation, fused with emptyness and frustration in some pointless interviews with Whoopy Golberg, Robin Williams, Matt Groening and Steven Spielberg (nothing outstanding, relevant, or even worth for the narrative context in this DVD). <
> <
>Initially, the DVD structure looks quite ambitious through 21 of its 22 titles but, while watching the whole thing I got more and more convinced that most of the chapters were just too "light" to make a "one-of-a-kind" anything. That goes even to special features like the rush version of "Chuck Jones Tutorial: tricks of the cartoon trade" quite poorly edited and commented by some animators except Mr. Jones. <
> <
>More like a Video Catalogue of Mr. Jones work at Warner Brothers, "Chuck Jones - Extremes and In-Betweens, a Life in Animation", pulls down Mr. Jones potential and appeal to a 90 minute commercial about shorts found in DVD collections and stories or books written by or about Mr. Jones (and...guess what? They are all for sale separately). <
> <
>I also missed the complete versions of "High note" and "The Dot and the Line" (Even if this last one was done with MGM).
100 % pure inspiration!
Woow, what can I say? It is all about Chuck Jones!

>Very inspiring DVD with a great interview and some commentaries from famous people. This stuff is totally inspiring for animators!
A Good Guide to the father of Warner Brothers animation....
In 1937, with the huge success that Walt Disney studios was having with the Mouse, Warner Brothers decited to get into the animation business too, with Leon Schensinger creating the animation department of Warner Brothers and hireing a team of animators to do the cartoons. Among them Tex Avery, Fritz Freling, Robert McKimson, and Chuck Jones. By 1941, Warner Brothers had surpassed Disney in the amount of animated short cartoons that they were making and getting to theaters to be shown alongside the main Warners features. Chuck Jones was the most prolific of the Warners animators and had a long career doing cartoons from his days at Warner Brothers from the 40's to the early 60's. Then going to MGM and working on specials like Grinch, and then finally back to Warner Brothers in 1988 where they gave him a life long contract to continue to do Looney Tunes cartoons for the remainder of his life. The vast amount of work that he did for Warner Brothers. Doing Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons and for the many other Looney Tunes charecters, is still unsurpassed in the history of American animation and has been of lasting importance for both Warner Brothers (who continue to do new Looney Tunes animation to this day) and for everyone who are fans of these characters and can never get enough of them.
