The legacy and creativity of Chuck Jones is brought to life with the opening of The Chuck Jones Experience, an interactive exhibit at Circus Circus Las Vegas designed to "Educate, Inspire & Entertain" people of all ages. A four-time Academy Award-recipient, Jones created some of today's most beloved and enduring animated characters including Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner and Pepé le Pew among many others.
According to a recent press release, The Chuck Jones Experience includes
- Chuck Jones Center for Creativity Learning Center - A 1,000-square-foot learning center where teachers from the field of animation and the arts lead creative projects.
- Chuck Jones Movie Theatre - A 1930s-style movie theatre where you'll meet Jones via a short film introduced by one of his characters, the Connecticut Cat.
- Chuck Jones' Studio - A recreation of Jones' office where you'll see how he worked and discover what inspired him to create his beloved characters.
- How Do You Measure Up? Room - Learn how characters are developed and view original key drawings Jones drew during their creation.
- Animation Alley - A multimedia wall where animation pieces are on display from the permanent collection of the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and other animation studios.
- Acme Workshop - Create sound effects and voice-overs for a Chuck Jones cartoon at the Chuck Jones Experience Foley Stage.
After seeing pictures and reading descriptions of The Chuck Jones Experience, I have a solid reason for visiting Las Vegas (beyond the usual reasons).
