One of the world's most famous & accomplished animators died yesterday due to a congestive heart failure. The man whom made 300 films during his life twas truly an accomplished animator. The creator of the famous WB stars Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig & Wile E. Coyote and his always fruitless efforts to capture the Road Runner. He was with his wife Marian of 20 years while he died in his southern californian home.
I'm sure plenty of you know that he was a major figure in "The Golden Age of Animation" whose work was often compared to Disney's. Why just a few years ago he won a lifetime acheivement Oscar from the academy awards. Born in September 21, 1912 his first work was in a late 1930's film "The Night Watchman" and he has been working ever since.
So lets us pay tribute to this late great man, whom is truly a legend in animator history.

IN MEMORY OF CHUCK JONES
1912-2002
REST IN PEACE.
(P.S: Just in case anyone asked I got the info from MSN.com.)
Well, I heard it from the Toonzone. It IS sad. This is very much the end of an era. I hate to see the originals go.
I guess you are wondering why I am back. Well, life has slowed considerably for me, since I have taken my ACT and I get more flexible school hours. So with more free time, and an ADSL connection, I'll have more time to post on this board.
Anyway, hope everything is going well for you guys! See you all later!
