New Chuck Jones Exhibit: Kids Can Learn About the Bugs Bunny Creator & Make Their Own Animations at the Museum of the Moving Image
Submitted by Alina Adams on
There are some repetitive, simple-minded animated shows that you can't wait for your kids to outgrow. (I'm not going to name names... there are just so many!) And then there are classics you can't wait to share with your children. That's how I feel about the old Looney Tunes cartoons—they were so creative and crazy and kooky, and great fun for audiences of all ages. (Many of the jokes I only get now as an adult!) There's really nothing like them on TV these days (or rather, nothing appropriate for young kids—my children are still a few years away from Robot Chicken).
Whether your kids are already big fans of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, et al, or you're introducing them to the Looney Tunes gang for the first time, the Museum of the Moving Image's brand-new exhibit What’s Up, Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones is really inspiring, especially for young artists. Not only do kids learn about the genius behind these iconic characters, on Saturdays, children ages 7 and up can drop in to the museum's Studio to make their own animated shorts.
