More quotes by Chuck Jones
Everything on Saturday morning [cartoons] moves alike that's one of the reasons it's not animation. The drawings are different, but everybody acts the same way, their feet move the same way, and everybody runs the same way. It doesn't matter whether it's an alligator or a man or a baby or anything, they all move the same.
Chuck Jones
The name 'Chuck Jones', according to my uncle, limited my choice of profession to second baseman or cartoonist.
Chuck Jones
An idea has no worth at all without believable characters to implement it a plot without characters is like a tennis court without players. Daffy Duck is to a Buck Rogers story what John McEnroe was to tennis. Personality. That is the key, the drum, the fife. Forget the plot.
Chuck Jones
Fog and smog should not be confused and are easily separated by color.
Chuck Jones
In timing a film, we used to assume that sneaks move slowly. This was great for animators-thirty-six to forty-eight drawings for a single step-but it was sheer hell for the pace of the picture. So the rapid tiptoe was invented.
Chuck Jones
Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
Chuck Jones
Disney was not a good animator, he didn't draw well at all, but he was always a great idea man, and a good writer.
Chuck Jones
When critics sit in judgment it is hard to tell where justice leaves off and vengeance begins.
Chuck Jones
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
Chuck Jones
We must not confuse distortion with innovation distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
Chuck Jones
Jackie Gleason said that comedy is the most exacting form of dramatic art, because it has an instant critic: laughter.
Chuck Jones
I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.
Chuck Jones
Mark Twain's Roughing It is a book that many people don't know about, but I highly recommend to anybody at any age.
Chuck Jones
Fog and smog should not be confused and are easily separated by color. Fog is about the color of the insides of an old split wet summer cottage mattress smog is the color and consistency of a wet potato chip soaked in a motorman’s glove.
Chuck Jones
You can't force inspiration. It's like trying to catch a butterfly with a hoop but no net. If you keep your mind open and receptive, though, one day a butterfly will land on your finger.
Chuck Jones
The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking, perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.
Chuck Jones
There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
Chuck Jones
The rules are simple. Take your work, but never yourself, seriously. Pour in the love and whatever skill you have, and it will come out.
Chuck Jones
Censorship, I believe, is the most dangerous enemy to all human communication, and piety of intention is probably the most dangerous, the most virulent and the most self-satisfying.
Chuck Jones
You do not 'suffer' if you decide 'that's the way it is' rather than 'why is it this way?'
Chuck Jones
