So my rating is based on remembering that I really liked this, years and years and years ago. Maybe I'll re-read it and review it properly.
Maybe not.
I do remember that this book helped me figure out why I enjoyed Jones' WB cartoons more than Avery's or Freleng's. And now that I'm poking around, apparently Dr. Seuss was one of their storyboard artists/writers, and Ub Iwerks was one of their directors! I definitely want to see if I can find those.

"Chuck Amuck" is more memoir than autobiography, which makes it all the more fascinating. Chuck talks about the very intense process of cartoon animation, the team that was in place at WB (along with some fairly harsh assessments of "management") and how iconic characters like Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote, and Daffy Duck evolved and developed their own personalities over time. As a bonus, the book sprinkles sketches and storyboards of the Looney Tunes animations throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed!
