Jones is an undeniable legend, but Clampett is my favorite WB director. While Jones was still finding his voice, Clampett was pushing WB cartoons into a unique territory with his fast-paced adult gags, expanding on the groundwork that Tex Avery laid. Even when WB cartoons were Disney clones, Clampett contributed gags that gave them an edge (such as the "Ask the guy who owns one" joke from "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile.") I think it's appropriate that Cartoon Network's Bob Clampett Show, which presented his cartoons uncensored, also had a brief run on Adult Swim, and while it may have seemed out of place next to Family Guy and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, it did show that his cartoons helped plant the seeds for what we refer to today as "adult animation."
Also, Clampett's interpretation of Tweety was the best. I'll take "Cute and sadistic" over "Cute and innocent" any day.
As for my favorite cartoons from each, my favorite Clampett cartoon is probably "A Corny Concerto." Even as a parody of Fantasia, it still retains the elements that made the source material great, namely great animation that matches up perfectly with the music. I also love that it managed to work WB's four biggest stars at the time into one short.
Objectively, "What's Opera, Doc?" is probably Jones' best cartoon, and you could make a case for about 10 others. I think his hunting trilogy is a master class in comedic timing and expression. "Hair-Raising Hare" is also a great example of an earlier Jones cartoon where the comedy is firing on all cylinders.
I have to go with clampett, I love how wacky he was. His cartoons were truly amazing. To have the type of energy his cartoons have are amazing. Great video.
Same
Yep
Fr
Bugs Bunny was at his best with Bob Clampett IMO...
Daffy was too! He truly was "daffy" under Clampett. Jones made Daffy into Bugs' foil.
Not to say many of Jones' cartoons were not great but I much prefer Clampett!
I loved both
Bob Clampett. No contest.
As much as I like Chuck Jone's storytelling, Bob Clampett's cartoons are my favortes.
If your talking about who really embraced the Screwball Comedy, extreme squash and stretch animation, then Clampett wins hands down. In this realm Jones was a follower and Clampett and Tex Avery were the innovators. Ya gotta stick Tex in since Clampett first animated under Tex's direction and then moved to Directing. Clampett and Avery were more influenced by the slapstick of the old silent comedies and early Screwball Comedies, whereas Jones was influenced by Disney. Thank God Jones saw the light and became a convert to the over the top fun that Clampett and Avery pioneered.
Sorry but Clampett was not as half as good as Tex was .
@@felixleidig8307 Clampett was a really really really REEEEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLYYYY close second.
Jones was a master of subtle facial expressions, posing, and his cartoons had Maurice noble’s superior designs. So Jones is more sophisticated but clampett did excel at exaggeration and roundness and general wackiness.
As a child, I would prefer chuck Jones stuff, it felt more familiar for some reason, but as an adult, I prefer Clampett, he really pushed the envelope and it's far more engaging stuff.
Bob Clampett was by far the best.
he also first animated the merrie melodies cartoon smile darn ya smile 1931
Bob Clampett had the best characters the best character designs and the best animation quality if anything Bob Clampett should have stayed at Warner Bros until it closed down instead of leaving in 1946 because of Eddie Selzer being a closed mined uncreative talentless asshole
@@TheAlanWilcox now come to think about it. Pretty much all producers, at least back then in animation, were just mean, greedy and just wanted money and credit for things they obviously didn’t do. Like with Walt Disney, obviously he was creative but rarely showed it because he would rather let his employees be creative and Walt also took credit for everything. Also with other producers like Leon Schlesinger, Fred Quimby and Charles Mintz, there’re weren’t creative and weren’t really artists. Leon did always have an eye for talent. Also with Max Fleischer and Paul Terry, they’re were creative and shared talents with everybody. The worst ones were Walt Disney and Fred Quimby and Eddie Selzer later
@@cecilmaxentertainment actually the first Merrie Melodies cartoon is “Lady Play Your Mandolin” (also animated by Clampett)
@@brockpifer9929 Walt Disney was far, far, far more creative than you think you know. Don't put him in the same bracket as Quimby and Selzer
Clampett by far
Bob Clampett is a legend, with WB he did some of the best cartoons ever, like Porky in Wackyland, The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, Ali Baba Bound, Tin Pan Alley Cats, Kitty Kornered, etc. Chuck Jones was good, but not at the same level of Clampett or Tex Avery.
Both was great animators. They had different styles.
Both of those top cartoons are treasures. This helped me study for my animation history midterm, thanks!
I prefer Clampett, though I must say that Chuck Jones has some really solid cartoons under his belt.
Clampett's sentimentality of having nothing held and going all out with cartoons like Kitty Kornered or A Grusome Twosome always feels a lot more exciting and entertaining for me.
Theres always a pendulum and anarchy happening with Clampett that will always make me prefer his style over Chuck's methodical joke style.
Edit: I prefer Clampett, but Jones is the better director.
I love Clampett because there are always little gags to notice in the backgrounds. My all time fave is The Big Snooze.
Depends on what you want. They both gave us classics.
CLAMPETT FOREVER! Genuinely hilarious wacky yet witty animation/writing.
Chuck Jones = low energy, sly, drawn out overlong jokes, massively overhyped and unfortunately the one more remembered
Chuck Jones' best work, specially in the first half of the 50s, is stellar in timing, comical creativity, facial expressions. Cartoons such as Rabbit Of Seville, Duck Amuck, Duck Dodgers, Bully For Bugs, Long-Haired Hare, Rabbit Seasoning and many others have none of the flaws you are complaining about.
Chuck Jones is more sophisticated, more complex. The drawings are brilliantly stylized and emotive. The clamper is crude in comparison, but yes very solid, fluid, 3-dimensional.
Freleng is the one who got the Oscar's. But there all good director's. Even Norman mc cabe and art davis.
I like Bob Clampett comedy style better than Chuck Jones's comedy
Clampett, Jones was also a top notch expressionist, but with Clampett you could feel the insanity of the termite terrace!!
Clampett by a mile!
No.
I think Clampett is better because he has a better understanding and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck so Like Bugs Bunny lose in a cartoon clampett would do a better job at that Chuck Jones wouldn't
What are your thoughts about Friz Freleng or Robert McKimson? Both are have created classic Looney Tunes shorts & characters as well.
I honestly think all of the Looney Tunes directors were enormously talented and have plenty of great cartoons to their credit.
Can you please do a TH-cam Creator Shoutout every singe month which was actually by starting October please?
@@MrCoat What's your opinion on Disney animation directors like: "Jack Hannah", and "Jack Kinney"?
McKimson was amazing.
Freleng? Yeah, I guess he has his place, but I never got the praise. The fact he won multiple Oscars still astounds me since Jones, Clampett, Tashlin, Avery and McKimson consistently made more consistent cartoons.
Mckimson is super underrated
I prefer Clampett mainly for the fact that his work is very engaging and hilarious. I love how most of the endings to his cartoons are characters so shocked or bamboozled by the outcomes that they blow their brains out. Another factor is how he portrays a side of Bugs we rarely see, resentment, and over-the-top anger at losing. Chuck usually made Bugs Bunny the constant victor even if he didn't deserve it, to me it made me hate Bugs Bunny. Clampett shows a more relatable bug, someone you actually enjoy seeing on the screen.
Both are excellent, but you are missing two other excellent directors from Warner Bros., Robert McKimson and Friz Freleng. And, the animator who makes me laugh the most is Tex Avery.
Friz and mckimson both lacked style. Definitely second rate.
This is a tough one because they’re both such polar opposites. It’s hard too because Jones has a good 20 years of additional work on Clampett (I don’t know if a few years of Beanie and Cecil would qualify). Jones is by far the most celebrated of the two, and the split between the AAP pre/post 48 library means Jones’ cartoons were the most well known for audiences old enough to watch Saturday morning looney tunes (as clampett’s were all in pretty poor shape prior to Turner’s purchase)
I think Jones’s top shorts are probably objectively better than clampett, I just personally find clampett’s to be funnier
Both are amazing in their own style
Tweety was a COMPLETE Savage during his Early Years (Bob Clampett) and built different In comparison.
Here's me playing devil's advocate regarding both. Jones, for the most part, was the thinking man's director. Infusing his animated classics with Mark Twain humor, operatic influences, and great play on words. His type of humor would make some viewers run to the nearest World Book Encyclopedia just to bone up on his intellectual references.
Clampett was simply the working man's director. At his best, the humor was juvenile, flashy, a tad towards the inner sexual relations of men and women. Yet, he always had his pulse on the craziness of American life. Even the works released solely for armed forces during WWII veered into straight adult humor.
There's always room to enjoy both. But if asked which director I prefer, I would kindly answer.... it depends on my mood. For straight, gut-busting laughs, Clampett. For humor that makes me think, Jones.
Theres a huge difference between the two and yet both sides of the coin are great its really hard to choose. If were talking the more musical and story based stuff then chuck Jones takes the cake, but if you're looking for wacky gags that'll make you laugh till you pee that's clampett
Both bring a lot to the table, although I think Jones is quite overpraised compared to the others
Clampett
Both, personally prefer Bob Clampett, the San Diegan animator whom whimsical, energetic and surreal at heart, with some of the best animation direction to ever grope in the screen, especially with Rod Scribner’s brilliant drawings, added so much nuance, detail, and style (even with the excess or subtle use of wrinkles), that it is surely, incredibly and insanely timeless! It’s like if it was animated nowadays, in my opinion!
Not knocking Chuck Jones, but I never laughed at any of his work. Bob Clampett’s “The Great Piggy Bank Robbery “ had me in stitches back when I was a kid because (Sorry for sounding Misogynistic), after all the criminals fell out the closet. My kid eyes saw that one was a housewife. I died laughing
Chuck Jones or Bob Clampett? Sir you cannot ask me such a question.
I'm a huge fan of classic Looney Tunes and I appreciate each director. I was diagnosed with autism so I can't really get some types of humour that much (sadly) even though when I make humour, I generally rely of wit and false-expectancy. I usually like to take inspiration from Chuck Jones for the humour because I find it easier to follow in a way because I read his books and I like to understand the characters, even though a lot of people say Bob Clampett is funnier.
Story wise: Chuck Jones
Animation wise: Bob Clampett
I agree with that.
I agree
Jones animation was good
*To see a Michael Maltese written Bob Clampett short would be a real win-win.*
@@rileyalt1251
With Rod Scribner animating? Abso-fricken-lutely.
Maybe Chuck Jones may have been objectively better at the craft, but I find Clampett's cartoons funnier and more entertaining. Also, the reflection on how we view the characters thanks to Jones' development of them adds to the enjoyment of Clampett's cartoons more.
I don't know if I would say Jones was better at his craft..
Clampett had a ton of great cartoons in a shorter span of time.
Jones, while creating some of the best cartoons of the late age, also struggled for years to get a picture that wasn't forgettable. Sure, the animation looked good, but that was it. It was only with Clampett's exit that Jones started to shine.
It's always that big "what if" in the case where Clampett sticks around. Does Jones still succeed? Does Clampett still continue to make great cartoons?
@@doddsino That's well put. I was thinking more so that Jones was more in-tune with the practice of animation itself, i.e. smooth motion, crisp shapes, and elegance- more Disney-esque style. I do not think, however, that this is better for comedic cartoons like looney tunes. I think the rougher style of Clampett is far more suitable for the content, therefore: funnier, better.
The Wile/RR were inspired by Screen Gems own Fox & Crow created by Frank Tashlin
They were also inspired by Tom and Jerry
Clampett.
It has to be chuck jones his cartoons are artistic and what makes his cartoon better that that clamppett just can't beat is that he has michal maltese he is truly unique the cartoons are truly unique
You forgot to mention how Chuck Jones also did Dr. Seuss cartoons, with his most famous one of course, being: "The Grinch". But he also did: "Horton Hears a Who", in which he actually did the singing voices for the male Who ensemble.
He also did an adaptation of: "The Cricket in Times Square".
Clampett did Horton Hatches The Egg also.
@@dannyspelman1468 Yeah but that was only in the form of a seven-minute long Merry Melodies short and it was only once. Jones made longer TV specials and movies because he was actually friends with Dr. Seuss since they were working on Private Snafu in the 1940s.
I grew up with both.
Chuck jones was the one i grew to like most, really Enjoyed the Art style which is not too Cute and not too bizarre, hes version of Bugs bunny was also a lot more likable only being a trickster when Necessary and only when hes enemies start the fight, hes Redirection Daffy duck was also a good one, giving him more personalities rather than just being Goofy and wild.
Bob clampett was a director i mainly found out when watching puplic domain cartoon, and the art style tend to be way too surreal, barely matching the standard Designs of the looney tunes, especially with Elmer Fudd and Tweety Bird.
2:37 Why in the world would you use a clip for a Rudy Larriva Filmation RoadRunner cartoon?
Why do we always have to pit people against people, can't we just appreciate the contributions of each director, actor, animator, etc.?😢 No one stands alone, each of us builds on others, past/and or present 😊
Get real Harriet
Why would you even ask this it’s obviously jones
Both are good in my opinion!
I would say my favorite from Bob Clampett would be The Great Piggy Bank Robbery and my favorite from Chuck Jones would be The Dover Boys.
Both directors are definitely great for the reasons you bring up and more. However, I would my favorite director would be Tex Avery. After all, he did put the looney in looney tunes.
I kinda prefer Bob better, because how entertaining his humor and animation was at the time.
Chuck Jones' cartoons weren't really my type nowadays. I still love the Wile E. Coyote, Michigan J. Frog and Claude Cat shorts, as well as the one-shots.
The Bugs and Daffy shorts weren't really my type, but they were some great shorts. However, I do agree that Duck Amuck, Rabbit Rampage and Rabbit Fire were his majestic shorts.
The other shorts were either just great or decent.
Lets get this over with, would you rather watch The Great Piggy Bank Robbery or Whats Opera Doc?, Clampett by far he is just so creative with his work and let his staff have fun with projects and you can see all of the passion that goes into each and every frame. With Jones unit if you worked there then it would be a job where you think, gee i would rather do anything but this style of work, every,frame is the same and has no expression whatsoever.
Counterpoint: The Dover Boys
Jones totally ruined Tom and Jerry. While Beanie & Cecil is odd, at least they are original creations.
Jones didn't even want to do Tom & Jerry, it was the MGM executives who made him work on them after the successful Grinch cartoon he worked on with Dr. Seuss but at least he was friends with Seuss which is why the Grinch was better.
None of these 2 the Number 1 of all is Tex Avery and after him are Jones and Freleng on the Same Level ... Jones is a good Director but he was not even close to Avery and Freleng often forgotten was the second best director from WB with Chuck Jones being next to him i mean he brought Chuck to Looney tunes
But what about Clampett?
I would prefer Bob Clampett over Chuck Jones. Clampett’s Looney tunes were more colorful and more fluid than chuck jones. Chuck was a great animator but Bob really made Looney Tunes into what it is today.
I think both bob clampett and chuck Jones are the best
Chuck Jones cheapened the art, overstylized it, (esp. The backgrounds) added eyelashes, ugh... & the art/animation simply isn't as good as Clampett's. JMO...I also place Tex Avery above Jones.
Finally someones thinking right Chuck's cartoons are just either boring as hell or just unfunny jokes remember how annoying the episode where the annoying ass dog kept screaming at Claude Cat he did it in away that acutaly made the audaince on edge which is a dick move and shows how much he sucks at making cartoons altough he did have some good cartoons Clampett is overall beter than Jones he's overrated but I'll give credit where it's due also Avery is up there with Clampett
@Videolab Feed the Kitty is really good and cute.
@@edoardoguzzi3553 Yes I agree you 100 percent on that one great damn cartoon also the first few Charile Dog Epsidoes and some of his Road Runner shorts are the only good part about him also One Froggy Evening the rest are all annoying or dull
Freleng is above too
@@videolab1552 I love the cartoons where Claude gets pestered by Frisky, man.
Generally, I love both directors 🤷
bob clampett all the way
I gotta go with a tie.
I love Bob Clampett's version of Porky, Daffy, Bugs, Elmer, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn and Sylvester (Thomas in his creation), but there is one version i don't like: Tweety (1942-1944) but i like a.little bit the 1946 Tweety.
But i like Chuck Jones to, i like his versions of Bugs, Elmer, Tweety, Sylvester, Porky, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, but like Bob Clampett, there is one version i don't like from Chuck Jones: Daffy Duck (1950-1969), i don't like this Daffy, he loves money, he's act more like a villain, he's not screwball, but i like the catchfrase "You're Despicable!"
Well, in Jones' shorts Daffy has a reason to be greedy and mischievous but in the 60s cartoons with Speedy Gonzales (held by different people), Daffy was just the stereotypical villain who acts evil because the storyboard demands it.
TBH, I think there was a good in-between of Daffy being a screwball but also being an attention hog at the same time, as shown in the cartoons "You ought to be in pictures" and "The scarlet pumpernickel".
*Chuck is the King of Looney Tunery for me. As much as Clampett is the wackiest of all, I just never loved his gross-up art and body horror stuff, probably why I’ve never loved the “Looney Tunes Cartoons” series. I must admit though, “The Great Piggy Bank Robbery” is one of the best Daffy cartoons out there, I think it’s mostly Bob’s Bugs work that I’m never an optimist about. Then again Chuck did “Duck Amuck” and “Duck Dodgers in the 24 & 1/2 century” It may just be my bias though, growing up with Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Overall, at least when I was young, I think for Daffy I’d enjoy Clampett and McKimson more, whereas for Bugs I usually preferred Chuck and Freleng. Anyways, I must say, They’re both absolutely essential to the history of Termite Terrace.*
No mention of The Dover Boys?
I wold put Duck Amuck ahead of What's Opera, Doc? on the 50 Greatest Cartoons book by Jerry Beck
Rabbit Ramp[age.
I can't get passed most Chuck Jones shorts they are way too slow-pasted. So I prefer Bob Clampett.
And something else that's great about the Road Runner/Coyote shorts, is that not exactly sure who you're suppose to be rooting for, in those shorts. Because obviously you like the Coyote, and you wanna see him just get a meal, but on the other hand, you also sorta like the Road Runner as well. So it's one of those cases where there's no real good guy or bad guy in those cartoons.
That's also what made The Hunting trilogy so great, because you're not exactly sure who you're suppose to be rooting for in those cartoons either. Are you suppose to be rooting for Bugs, or are you suppose to be rooting for Daffy? Because both of them do what they do in those cartoons for an understandable reason: "They both don't want to die".
Hmmm it’s not that simple with Daffy and Bugs. This is more evident in their second appearance together in ‘rabbit seasoning’ as Bugs doesn’t tell Elmer it’s duck season he seemingly just takes amusement from Elmer’s lack of ability to recognise Bugs as a rabbit, Daffy is not satisfied that Elmer thinks it’s rabbit season and he can therefore survive , he comes out of his hiding spot and is determined to see Bugs get shot. We could easily root for Bugs because he doesn’t initially put Daffy in harms way and yep just doesn’t wanna get shot, fair enough innit , but oddly we can still root for Daffy because although he puts Bugs in harms I gather we are to assume this is to do with jealously (based on bugs taking over as Warner’s bros’ss main star) he is constantly humiliated and hurt while Bugs grows increasingly smug.
Personally, I love both Clampett and Jones, I consider them my favorite directors for the classic Looney Tunes cartoons.
Both are good but Chuck had the best art style. And he gave us Duck Amuck.
Thankfully, Rabbit Rampage as well.
Since you love the Duck Amuck cartoon so much, do you also like the followup cartoon where Elmer Fudd's the animator and he messes with Bugs?
I didin't realy like that cartoon
@@wirezd4279 Neither did Chuck after he directed it.
I prefer Clampett. But I do like the Chuck Jones cartoons that include aliens and Duck Dodgers.
I think it's a matter of taste. I lean more toward Chuck Jones, because I like his wit and his visual style. But I also love Bob Clampett's unrestrained, wild and wacky style, too!
Chuck Jones is #1 with me, but I can't say I don't like Clampett, either.
In all of classic animation, I put Clampett, Jones, and Tex Avery as a 3-way tie for my favorite. Tex, while he did great work for Warners, did his best work at MGM. Clampett got even better after he inherited Tex's animators. And Chuck Jones mastered the Clampettesque '40s, his definitive work in the early '50s, and experimental material in the early '60s.
Favorite Jones cartoon: Duck Amuck (favorite cartoon of all time)
Favorite Clampett cartoon: Kitty Kornered (though, objectively Wackyland was his best)
My favorite cartoon of all time was a Chuck Jones entry that didn't use any known WB characters. "The Weakly Reporter" skewered the sacrifices made on the home front during WW2.
I’ll Go With Chuck Jones, He Did A Great Job With Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote & Sniffles!
What’s Opera Doc? Is vastly overrated, IMHO. Jones, especially later on, was too self-consciously “artsy.” Clampett just wanted to be funny. Oh, and I’ll take Warren Foster over Michael Maltese any day. But, that’s just me....
I always liked rabbit of Seville more
@@danbam3411 Same
I love Daffy's personality... his jealousy makes the Elmer Fudd - Bugs Bunny saga hilarious.
Clampett, hands down. No question about it.
Between the two of them, I'd go with Chuck Jones as well.
Bob clampett is nice .But l think chuck jones is the best of the best
RIGHT NOW
Yeah, I'm with you Stefan. I also prefer Chuck Jones to Bob Clampett . Mainly because some of my favorite Looney Tunes shorts were directed by him, especially my all-time favorite: "What's Opera, Doc?"
But I certainly do have an appreciation for: "Bob Clampett", because if it wasn't for him, then we probably wouldn't have cartoons like: "Ren & Stimpy", "Dexter's Labratory", and "The Powerpuff Girls". Those cartoons really drew a lot of inspiration from Bob Clampett.
For one, his cartoons were always going off model. Now, I'm sure you know what it means when a character goes off model. Because in animated Disney films, the reasons why the characters in those movies are so good looking, is because they're on model, which means they're meant to be drawn a certain way. Which is why they'll often do clay sculptures of the characters, so the animators can study it, and know exactly how they're suppose to draw the character. But Bob Clampett cartoons are always going off model, which is why in his cartoons, the characters always look a little different, because he made a point not to do the same drawing twice.
Which is another way his cartoons stood apart from Chuck Jones's cartoons, because in Chuck Jones's cartoons, the characters were on model a lot more, and so they looked more realistic, and moved more realistic, and weren't really allowed to explore, what animation can do. But Bob Clampett went the exact opposite, because he wasn't concerned with his cartoons being realistic at all, because he really wanted to push the envelope, in what cartoons can do.
So even though I do have a preference for Jones, Bob Clampett deserves more respect, because he really did change a lot in terms of animation. And I think so may animators like: "John K.", "Gennedy Trakosvky", and "Craig McKracken", got so much of their inspiration from Bob Clampett. Like they got to much of their animation influence, from Bob Clampett. I mean, there's no question about it. The way cartoons like: "Ren & Stimpy", "Dexter's Labratory", and "The Powerpuff Girls", look, and how those cartoons are constantly going off model, and all of these crazy things happen to their bodies, like... so much of that, came from Bob Clampett, and his constant use, of that. Like he really has changed so much, and he's evolved cartoons so much.
I don't really agree with you that Bob Clampett's animation goes more off-model compared to Jones. It's simply a matter of Clampett's style being so elastic and rubbery, which creates a wider sense of energy, poses, and expressions; almost like an evolved version of the Fleichers animation style.
When they're not being stretched for dramatic or comedic effect, like in "What's Cooking Doc" or "Any Bonds Today" have some of the most on model, appealing looking bugs models out there. McKimson just grounds everything in Clampett's cartoons animation wise it looks great.
Jones on the other hand is extremely on-model because less drawings are being produced for certain effects. It's stilted and poised in such a manor to get every drawing it's intended strongest effect. Holding out the strongest pose, the clearest silloette, the funniest expression. And it very much works. The Three Bears cartoons alongside the ones featuring Witch Hazel show this particularly -as do the later Bugs Bunny cartoons.
Even in the earliest of Jones shorts they do this, abiet less-so for comedic effect. Probably due to Leon's lower budgets, Chuck would end up holding a drawing or pose as long as he could, for a pan-shot or a slow reveal that worked in favor of the cartoon.
I will always stick to Jones.
As unique and surreal as Clampett's cartoons were, the characters in them were basically the same, except for whatever their speech impediment was. Jones was more dedicated, not just making each character of his unique but figuring out how two of them could play off each other. Also Jones' eye for design was more controlled, especially in the '50s when his modern-art style made the background design part of the humor - shorts like What's Opera Doc would not be as brilliant without the design, and I don't think it would have been achieved under Clampett's direction.
You may call me uptight for focusing on all this, but too many people nowadays take that kind of attention to style and character for granted - so do too many cartoon producers now, who mainly focus on shock value and cheap laughs and hardly bother developing character, setting up an actual gag, or finding a style at all - I'M LOOKING AT YOU, SETH MCFARLANE!!!
Finally! Someone gets it! I don't mean to be against Clampett but I'd stick with Jones because he's more intellectual and is a better writer for the characters.
Thank you. As much as I love Bob Clampett, you have no idea how tired I get of seeing people (at least in this video's comments section) shred all over Chuck Jones just because of their preference for Clampett. I love both directors on an almost equal level, but I'd definitely go with Jones being the better one because of his characters' wonderfully clever expressions, and the backgrounds of his shorts looking somewhat abstract but also very detailed at the same time (though that was thanks to Maurice Noble).
Chuck Jones. No contest.
Like you I'm a chuck jones guy
Nah he's a terrible producer and only has a minium amount of good cartoons campared to Clampett and Avery who have even a shorter amount of cartoons compared to Chuck who has a load of shit

Jones. Though Friz Freleng is better than both him and Clampett
Clampett.
I would prefer Bob Clampett over Chuck Jones. Clampett’s Looney tunes were more colorful and more fluid than chuck jones. Chuck was a great animator but Bob really made Looney Tunes into what it is today.
