Jones came and spoke at my college (OCC) a long time ago. He brought several films and showed them on the big screen, the way they were meant to be seen. It was unbelievably eye-popping and the cartoons packed such a whallop!
Some of the ones I remember being especially affected by were:
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and Half Century
Feed the Kitty
What's Opera, Doc?
One Froggy Evening
Chuck Amuck is a great book and contains many of the hilarious stories he told us that night. His humor and storytelling abilities were excellent in person and on the screen.
I guess this has turned into a mini Chuck Jones Tribute. I love his work to this day.
