Born in Spokane, WA. Between 1938 and 1963 Jones worked almost exclusively at Warner Bros., where he established himself as a leading figure of the golden age of Hollywood animation. Among the characters he helped to create were Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the existential coupling of the ever-pursuing Wile E. Coyote and the ever-escaping Road Runner. Jones also did four months of uncredited work on Walt Disney's SLEEPING BEAUTY. He moved to MGM in the mid-1960s and also produced a number of "Tom and Jerry" cartoons. His cartoons WHAT'S OPERA, DOC? (1957), DUCK AMUCK (1953) and more recently ONE FROGGY EVENING (1955) have been accepted into the US National Film Registry. His autobiography, Chuck Amuck, was published in 1999.
