One of animations most influential voices was Chuck Jones. He created so many well known characters including, Wile E. Coyote, Marvin the Martian, Road Runner, Pepe Ie Pew, Sam and Michigan J. Frog. His cartoons have been watched by children for over fifty years while still many adults find enjoyment in them too. In remembrance and as a tribute to his wonderful life, Animators Unite has set up an entire area of their site for Chuck Jones. Included is a ten minute interview that Chuck Jones had back in 1994 on the Charlie Rose Show, a biography of Chuck Jones’ life and achievements. Also included are links to additional sites to learn more about this amazing artist. You can learn more at [ Chuck Jones: A Tribute ].

Last month Animators Unite helped Bill Plympton build his revolutionary Ani-Cam which you can see at [ http://www.hairhigh.com ]. Watch as Bill creates his next feature film live over the internet.

Animators Unite is also proud to announce the launch of its 3 new films ORBIT by Valerie Morone, MY NIGHTMARE by Irra Verbitsky and HEALING MANDALA by Don Duga.

Animators Unite also has two new articles, one on the AXNY/BAAF from the perspective of an animator. The other is a review of Hayao Miyazaki’s SPIRITED AWAY.

Finally in an effort to generate more revenue for the company, Animators Unite lanched its donations section. Those who like what we are doing and want to show their support can make a monetary contribution online at [ http://www.animatorsunite.com/donate/ ].
