Chuck Jones and 'One Froggy Evening'

     On December 31, 1995 Chuck Jones released one of his most infamous short animations. One Froggy Evening is known for its clever story, wonderful animation, setting, and clever character design. Jones is known as one of the animation greats because of how much dedication and care he put into his animations. He was not one to rely on set character expressions, but made every shot seem like it's very own. Timing is also another one of Jones's strengths, in 'One Froggy Evening' the shots are timed so well that they induce humor, and if they were off a beat you wouldn't have found it funny..
     Chuck Jones was definitely a revolutionary for animation. He really defined what a short animation should be and how the general slapstick humor should be executed. LoonyToons definitely is one of his strong points, especially in the way he did the Road Runner shorts. Bringing life and humor to cartoons is one of the many things Chuck Jones will be remembered as for many animators.
