5.0 out of 5 stars Missing "Chuck Jones-aholic" with Autism Found

Besides being a BIG Fan of The "Disney" Style of Traditional" and a BIG Fan of The "Wallace and Gromit" Style of Claymation -- I'm A Returning "Chuck Jones-aholic" starting with my rediscovery of Chuck Jones' cartoons after almost 4 years of neglect since May 2011 but Now I've Finally Got My Own Mint-Conditioned Copy of This "Behind the Scenes" DVD on Chuck Jones which, on my suggestion, is actually a Post-2001 sequel to 1989's "Chuck Amuck the Movie" but sadly those VHS Tape copies of "Chuck Amuck the Movie" are sold out except that Lightfoot Animation LTD are selling the last of their stack of VHS Tape copies of "Chuck Amuck the Movie" on their online store but the VHS Tape copy of "Chuck Amuck" is almost $50!!! Also, I Got Used to those cat and mouse cartoons known as The "Tom and Jerry" Cartoons thru The Internet and on my DVD copy of "Tom and Jerry's Greatest Chases" but sadly I lost the OLD Copy of "Tom and Jerry - The Chuck Jones Collection" in storage but I'll make Christmas-related plans on getting a new MINT copy of "Tom and Jerry - The Chuck Jones Collection" on 2-Disc DVD Set

P.S., I'm an American Samoan-Caucasian Animator with Autism that lives in Jackson, Michigan but already turned 20 Years Old on My 20th Birthday on September 9th, 2014 that means I'll be 21 Years Old on my next birthday, this time, by revisiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida for one entire week instead of adding rival theme parks (Including "Universal Studios Florida" -- YUCK!!!) but only at Walt Disney World for One Entire Week IF It's up to my mother, Jackie Igafo-Te'o

Loved this when we saw it on PBS, decided to get the dvd. Video quality isn’t great (likely copied from original 480i format) but it will look ok on a small screen.

This movie/video could have been improved by making it less of a commercial and more biographical.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great film about a brilliant man
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2002

Chuck Jones, like Charles Schulz and Carl Barks, is one of those pure artistic geniuses who would be hailed as a Shakespeare or Michelangelo if not for the fact that the medium they work in is so frequently and unjustly frowned upon by elitists.
Jones, the director of the greatest "Looney Tunes" cartoons, several Tom and Jerry shorts and lots more, including the animated version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," was the greatest animator America ever produced. This documentary, produced a few years before his death, is a wonderful look at his life, how he shaped the cartoons and how he shaped the work of others such as Ron Howard (whose live-action "Grinch" borrowed liberally from the Jones version). The film includes conversations with Jones himself. Best of all, it is sprinkled with snippets from all of Jones' greatest cartoons, from "What's Opera Doc?" to "Rabbit Seasoning."
If you love the Looney Tunes and you want to learn about the man who made them greater than anyone else, you've got to check out this film.

3.0 out of 5 stars Chuck Jones Deserves More
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2007
Chuck Jones is an amazing director, but unfortunately this documentary is more a "celebration" of Jones--the kind of thing you might see at an awards show, only longer and more repetitive--than an in-depth look at his life or work. This DVD isn't worthless. You do get a couple of great cartoons and some mildly-interesting pencil tests. But your time and money would be better spent with Jones' own book ( Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist ) or with the cartoons themselves.

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?

4.0 out of 5 stars A much needed tribute
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2002
I saw "Chuck Jones: Extremes and in-betweens" when it premiered on PBS's Great Performances, and I am truly grateful that it is now available on DVD. This is a stellar piece of documentary film-making and should be viewed by every Chuck Jones fan. In fact I would wager that every true Chuck Jones fan would like to have MADE this film, what a fun project it must have been. The DVD has some wonderful extras includng an enlightening featurette on Jones's "Tricks of the trade." Yet as much as I love this DVD as a whole, I do have one very large complaint. In the special features section, the DVD offers some "Bonus Cartoons" They are: Duck Dodgers in the twenty-forth amd a half century" and "Feed the Kitty" While these are classic Jones cartoons the fact remains that virtually everyone has already seen them. I am also nearly positive that Duck Dodgers has found it's way into at least one of the looney tunes compilations available on video. This is probably true of "Feed the Kitty" as well although I didn't recognise the title. A DVD such as this seeks to showcase Jones as the visionary he was, this endeavor demands that Jones's lesser known works be liberated from obscerity. To which cartoons am I referring? One in particular would be the little known sequel to "One Froggy Evening "Another Froggy evening. For those who are not familiar with "One Froggy evening" it is the 1955 classic featuring Michigan J. Frog. "Another Froggy Evening" debuted as part of "Fest of the Best" a theatrically released retrospective of the best Looney Tunes. This was sponsored by the now non-existant Warner Brothers Studio Stores, I believe it only ran a week. What better place to resurrect this lost cartoon than on a DVD honoring the life's work of it's creator?
