Charles Martin Jones
Charles Martin Jones also known as Chuck
Jones born in Washington on 21st September 1912, he is another Great
animator, which directed in the famous studios of Warner Bros. He is the one
who created very different type of character like Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote
and Pepe le Pew. He also animated Bugs bunny, which is my favorite.
On one of the websites which I was browsing
I found this interesting quote which is
“On one of his most famous characters, Wile E. Coyote] The
coyote is victimized by his own ineptitude. I never understood how to use tools
and that's really the coyote's problem”

his animations affected on the entertainment industry that of what we see it
today. He introduced many ways of in animation and ways of educating as well as
teaching it. His imaginations and innovative creations have taken this industry
to a different level. Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5th,
1901 in Chicago he had 3 brothers and a sister. After he was born they moved to
Missouri, where Walt spent his most of his childhood. At a very early age he
was very much interested in art and drawing, I cannot believe this but it’s
true that at the age of seven he sold his sketches to neighbors. This is how he
became more creative. He joined Academy of Fine Arts to improve his skills. He
loved nature, animals, and wildlife. Only after some Struggle in his life his
first cartoon was on television called Crazy, which was a silent cartoon. Only
then sound was introduced in motion pictures and that’s how Mickey Mouse was on
screen, it was the World’s first sound cartoon. Then Snow White and the seven
Dwarfs was a full length animated film with sound which was a big hit in the
Industry, Soon in five years many more films were made in the studios of Walt
Disney like Bambi, Dumbo , Fantasia and Pinocchio .
