Title: Chuck Jones - Extremes and In-Betweens, a Life in Animation
Product review: Peering inside the head of master animator Jones and revisiting sequences from some of his most famous shorts is half the fun of watching Selby's up-close-and-personal documentary. The rest comes from listening to what latter-day animators and comedians like Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg have to say about his influence on their own work, and hearing Leonard Maltin articulate what made Jones's cartoons funnier and more brilliant than anyone else's. Seeing the evolution in his style, from the cutesy Disneyfied knockoffs of his early career to his later triumphs with Road Runner and horny skunk Pepe Le Pew, is worth the price of admission alone. Plus, who can resist the array of rare, marvelously madcap clips?
