The Museum of the Moving Image’s celebration of all things Chuck Jones continues with a matinee of eight more of his classic Warner Bros. cartoons, held in conjunction with the endlessly fun exhibit “What’s Up, Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones.” The festivities begin with 1946’s Hair-Raising Hare, in which Bugs Bunny thinks that monsters must lead such interesting lives. In 1949’s For Scent-imental Reasons, Pepè Le Pew thinks he has found true love. Daffy heads into the future and battles Marvin the Martian in 1953’s Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century. Daydreaming eight-year-old Ralph Phillips is introduced in 1954’s From A to Z-Z-Z-Z. Witch Hazel has some dastardly plans for Halloween trick-or-treaters in 1956’s Broom-Stick Bunny. Daffy and Bugs fight over a vast treasure in 1957’s Ali Baba Bunny. Daffy attempts to steal from the poor and give to the rich in 1958’s Robin Hood Daffy. And Wile E. Coyote (as Batman!) and the Delicius-Delicius Road Runner go at it yet again in 1956’s Gee Whiz-z-z. The exhibit runs through January 19; the matinees continue with “Baton Bunny and Other Cartoons” on January 4, “The Rabbit of Seville and Other Cartoons” January 10-11, and “Duck Amuck and Other Cartoons” January 17-18.
