"Coyote vs. Acme," a long-lost Chuck Jones animated short film, will be released on August 28. The film, thought to be lost by Warner Bros., was discovered by Ketchup Entertainment and will be shown nationwide. Before the release, Ketchup Entertainment shared the movie with Chuck Jones' family – daughter Linda Jones Clough and grandson Craig Kausen – to gauge their reaction.
Jones, a renowned animator best known for his work with Warner Bros. on Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, is credited with creating iconic characters such as Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, and influential shorts like "What's Opera, Doc?" and "Duck Amuck." He also directed the holiday special "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and the live-action adaptation of "The Phantom Tollbooth."
Jones passed away in 2002 at 89, but his legacy as an animator continues to inspire artists and fans worldwide. According to Kausen, "Chuck created a world in animation where these characters lived and played." He believes the new movie, "Coyote vs. Acme," serves as a perfect bridge between Jones' envisioned world and our reality. Jones Clough similarly remarked, "We ended up loving it."
