The more beautiful backgrounds were painted by James 'Jimmy' Swinnerton, the creator of the 'Canyon Kiddies' comics on which Chuck Jones based 'Mighty Hunters'.

1:27-1:53 -- Note Jones's use of elongated, distorted shadows to create an illusioned perception of the size of the characters in question before their first official screen appearance. I'm not sure if this is the first, but the technique was later used in at least two other CJ-cartoons of which I am aware: "Inki at the Circus" (1947) and, more famously, "What's Opera Doc?" (1957).

Well, he *did* start out as a cellwasher for Ub Iwerks, who started out (and ended up) with Disney, so that's not too hard to see. Also, according to Jones's autobiography, he *did* work briefly for Disney when the WB-studio was temporarily shut down sometime in the fifties.

That was a good effort. Cute any Funny.

Everyone likes to knock Chuck Jones's early stuff since it's so cutesy and slow next to his later stuff, but on their own terms I find them very entertaining. That slow, atmospheric pacing and the sense of exploration and mystery that colors them all makes them a different, but fun, variation of what we think of as Warner Brothers cartoons.
'Sides, you can't help but like his eternally hapless little characters.

Chuck was a very cool director! But I didn't like his earlier cartoons. They were way too "disneyish"
