Jones received an [[Honorary Academy Award]] in 1996 by the board of governors of the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]], for "the creation of classic cartoons and cartoon characters whose animated lives have brought joy to our real ones for more than half a century."  At that year's awards show, [[Robin Williams]], a self-confessed "Jones-aholic", presented the honorary award to Jones, calling him "The [[Orson Welles]] of cartoons", and the audience gave Jones a [[standing ovation]] as he walked onto the stage. For himself, a flattered Jones wryly remarked in his acceptance speech, "Well, what can I say in the face of such humiliating evidence? I stand guilty before the world of directing over three hundred cartoons in the last fifty or sixty years. Hopefully, this means you've forgiven me."<ref>{{cite web|last=Jones|first=Chuck|title=Honorary Award: Acceptance Speech|url=http://aaspeechesdb.oscars.org/link/068-26|publisher=Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences|access-date=February 21, 2013|archive-date=September 29, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929091343/http://aaspeechesdb.oscars.org/link/068-26/|url-status=live}}</ref> He received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Festival of Animated Film – [[Animafest Zagreb]] in 1988.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://animafest.hr/en/1988/home |title=Animafest Zagreb |website=Animafest.hr |date=June 3, 1988 |access-date=May 4, 2017 |archive-date=August 6, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806044908/http://animafest.hr/en/1988/home |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Art exhibit ===
Jones's life and legacy were celebrated on January 12, 2012, with the official grand opening of ''The Chuck Jones Experience'' at [[Circus Circus Las Vegas]]. Many of Jones's family welcomed celebrities, animation aficionados and visitors to the new attraction when they opened the attraction in an appropriate and unconventional way. Among those in attendance were Jones's widow, Marian Jones; daughter Linda Clough; and grandchildren Craig, Todd and Valerie Kausen.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://blog.bcdb.com/the-chuck-jones-experience-opens-las-vegas-3631-2671|title="The Chuck Jones Experience" opens in Las Vegas|first=Paul|last=Anderson|newspaper=Big Cartoon News|date=January 13, 2011|access-date=June 18, 2015}}{{dead link|date=January 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
