More quotes by Chuck Jones
Well, directing is doing the key drawings, not the key animation, mind you.
Chuck Jones
Once you have heard a strange audience burst into laughter at a film you directed, you realize what the word joy is all about.
Chuck Jones
There's only one test of a great children's book, or a great children's film, and that is this: If it can be read or viewed with pleasure by adults, then it has the chance to be a great children's film, or a great children's book.
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
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
We must not confuse distortion with innovation distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
Chuck Jones
The weatherman is not only blamed for his failure to foretell, he is blamed for the weather itself.
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
The author O. Henry taught me about the value of the unexpected. He once wrote about the noise of flowers and the smell of birds—the birds were chickens and the flowers dried sunflowers rattling against a wall.
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
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
I started reading when I was about three, a little over three.
Chuck Jones
Often Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
Chuck Jones
Each character represented a trait that resides in me.
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
Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.
Chuck Jones
The only time a wife listens to her husband is when he’s asleep.
Chuck Jones
You do not 'suffer' if you decide 'that's the way it is' rather than 'why is it this way?'
Chuck Jones
Animation isn't the illusion of life it is life
