There are those who suggest that What's Opera, Doc? is the best Warner Bros cartoon of all time. It was directed by Chuck Jones, born on this date in 1912. Don't watch this without a box of Kleenex nearby: it doesn't end well.
I know. You will now be forced to sing "Kill the Wabbit" to yourself for the rest of the day. Sorry about that. Then again, while this may be the filet mignon of Jones's animation, I have always enjoyed the everyday hamburger of the Roadrunner cartoons over the more accepted Bugs Bunny: sorry about that, but on a desert island, if I can have either the complete Bugs or the complete Roadrunner, I'm opting for the latter. Beep beep, and all that.
If you're seriously interested in Jones, here's an in-depth interview. If you're not seriously interested in Jones, you probably shouldn't be following this blog.
