Academy salutes the late, great Chuck Jones

From the man who gave the world Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Pepé LePew, and the late WB mascot, comes a collection of Oscar-winning shorts presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Chuck Jones, who died in 2002, spent a large part of his life animating still-popular cartoons for Warner Bros. Studios. As part of the exhibit “Chuck Jones: An animator’s life from A to Z-Z-Z-Z,” the Academy will be screening all of Jones’ Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated shorts this Friday night. Starting at 7:30pm, the works to be screened are Academy Award winners For Scent-imental Reasons (1949), So Much for So Little (1949) and The Dot and the Line (1965). Six Oscar-nominated shorts will be screened as well: “Mouse Wreckers” (1948), “From A to Z-Z-Z-Z” (1953), “High Note” (1960), “Beep Prepared” (1961), “Nelly’s Folly” (1961) and “Now Hear This” (1962).
