Dick Cavett interviews cartoonist/director Chuck Jones, originally on a Public Television show in 1979, and rebroadcast in an edited version on the Decades network.

Wow, what a mensch! I just wish the interview was twice as long!

[@marksherrill9337]

When Jones said someone burned all the original drawings to make room for records ....I have no words.

[@tmrezzek5728]

Terrific interview. I wish it was longer because Jones is spot-on with his insights about comic timing.

[@naskifife]

Talk about a Master Class!! Wow!! Thanks for posting!!!

This was the first animation interview I saw on TV when I moved out here, and I audio taped it. Must have been on TV in late October or early November 79. The tape was lost back in the 90s. Glad to see it again after all these years.

Chuck Jones is one of my favorite directors.

A pair of consummate entertainers. Marvellous.

wonderful interview. the jazzy tune is the candide overture of leonard bernstein

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Cavett should have insisted that the cameraman get a closeup of his sketch. And he also should have discussed the music that was used.

Not far from my home is the Acme Accordion School. The cartoon posibilities abound.

Chuck was 67 years old here!

[@lukejohnson3048]

he didn't look it.

[@nightisright1873]

If where being honest he's aged horribly

[@WillScarlet1991]

@@nightisright1873 Considering he's been dead for 20+ years, I'd agree.

I'd love to listen to this but the constant EEEE sound is killing me, needs an audio cleanup pass
