Chuck Jones is an important figure to remember in the history of Warner Brothers directors. Even when he wasn’t a director he still played a pivotal role in designing and building the classic characters (and their personality) that we know today. Characters like Wile E. Coyote and his counterpart Roadrunner, he developed and pushed Daffey Duck’s character into what it is now today. You can thank Chuck Jones for Daffey’s stuck up egotistical personality that makes him memorable, all the more enjoyable and fun to watch!

although his animation and sense of style didn’t always lead in the same direction that Friz Frelengs wanted it to. Chuck’s early animation was more inspired by Disney, focusing on pleasing visuals rather than humor and character. supposibly this visual style almost got him fired after directing the Dover Boys film for Merry Melodies.

looking at the dover boys vs the other classic warner brothers stuff you can see a diffrence. The Dover Boys while being caricatures and cartoons, don’t quite bring it up to the level of say Bugs Bunny. if anything it feels tame in comparison.
