Chuck Jones draws Wile E. Coyote Matt Jan 17 2008

In this video from the Charlie Rose Show, Chuck Jones, the genius behind many of the best Warner Bros. cartoons, shows how he draws Wile E. Coyote. A little later in the same video, he talks about what he learned in art school: how to have a fancy signature. (Neat thing about Google Video: You can link directly to interesting parts of a video with times like 1:24:30 or 0:55.)

And here’s “High Note,” a great Jones short.

This is great. I was completely obsessed with Chuck Jones as a kid. I can remember my visit to the Warner Bros. store as being one of the highlights on my family vacation to San Francisco a long time back.

You can even skip zeros, so instead of “#0h40m08s” just write “#40m8s” :)

I love the full orchestration of the music in these cartoons. It really nails the affect. They just don’t do it that meticulously anymore. Cartoons these days are so mindless and/or focused on dialogue, but you can watch these guys over and over and still find something new each time.
