Any Chuck Jones experts?
 

I'm trying to find a certain Chuck Jones cartoon, or rather, character.

I've got this mental image of a Chuck Jones character with big blue eyes, in that curvy adorable cutesy style of his.


Cindy's eye's have whites. The ones I'm thinking of are entirely blue.


After some Googling I thought I had the right short, Rocket-Bye Baby, since the style seemed so right on. I Netflixed a DVD, but it turns out that neither Mot nor Yob ever open their eyes from the squint you see here. (Great print, BTW, first time I've watched an Merrie Melodie on our HDTV.)

I'm beginning to worry that it's from Jones' version of The Phantom Tollbooth, which I watched a bunch as a kid. The DVD isn't on Netflix, but no way am I buying that movie just for a screen cap.

If someone knows what the hell I'm talking about I'd appreciate some help, because it's messing with my head.

So blue eyes like this? But the character is a little girl?

Hmmmm...

Suckally, my WB books are in storage.

I recall a cartoon where the little girl was torturing/ smothering a cat with "love." The voice was by June Foray I think. It might have been a Pepe' le' Pew where the cat escapes him only to land in the arms of the pest girl.

Hmmmmm

Is the Chuck Jones Gallery still open in Old Town Orange just west of the Plaza on the north side of Chapman Ave? You might find the information there.

This might help?

Wow. Who does this look like? :)

Marla.

Wait, I might be on to something.

Wasn't there another switched-at birth bit? Drunk stork? Possibly a baby and a gorilla baby getting switched?

ETA: Giant, not gorilla. "Goo Goo Goliath". Not sure this is right, but worth more research.

Don't know if it's a girl, boy, baby, or what. Don't think I've seen the White Seal before.

Thanks for the links, Bornieo.

Yeah, that place is there. I even met Jones' daughter once, at an event at the library. I admit I'd feel like an idiot, showing up and saying "you know, the cute one!" :rolleyes:

Heh, turns out Goo Goo Goliath is on the DVD we have, and it's not the right set of eyes. Watching cartoons and calling it research is fun ;)

Maybe?

or maybe Ralph?
