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 β [[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>
