|

|
In October, Turner Classic Movies will present a documentary featuring renowned animator Chuck Jones discussing memories from his storied childhood.
The unique special Chuck Jones: Memories of Childhood is taken from interviews that the legendary animator gave just before his death in 2002.
John Canemaker, who earned an Oscar for his 2005 animated short The Moon And The Sun: An Imagined Conversation, conducted the interviews, which cover Jones' rough childhood and abusive father, and how those factors led to his work in cartoons. In addition, Canemaker is creating original animation to go along with the interview.

Jones never mentioned anything about an abusive father in his autobiography Chuck Amuck. All he really said was "his dad didn't really want to have a family".
