Turner Classic Movies will show an 8-hr salute to animation director Chuck Jones, beginning at 8PM Eastern on March 24, 2009. Included is a TCM original production, CHUCK JONES: MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD (2009). Programming will repeat during the 8-hr block.
TCM's selections span Jones' Disneyesque beginnings at WB in the late '30s, to his stylistic work at MGM in the '60s. Noticeably/unfortunately
missing are
Roadrunner * toons, and one of his slapstick
Three Bears ** masterpieces.
