| Oh, definitely genius.  There's just a certain side to his style that makes me cringe.  Not all, but there's a definitely a whole class of Chuck Jones cartoons that bug me.  The story content I usually like, but there's something about the animation style and sound design that hits me wrong.  His Cat in the Hat and Phantom Tollbooth are kinda prime examples.
