Editing Chuck Jones (section)

=== Chuck Jones Enterprises ===
MGM closed the animation division in 1970, and Jones once again started his own studio, Chuck Jones Enterprises. He produced a Saturday morning children's TV series for the [[American Broadcasting Company]] called ''[[Curiosity Shop|The Curiosity Shop]]'' in 1971. In 1973, he produced an animated version of the [[George Selden (author)|George Selden]] book ''[[The Cricket in Times Square]]'' and subsequently produced two sequels.<ref name="imdb"/>

Three of his works during this period were animated TV adaptations of short stories from [[Rudyard Kipling]]'s ''[[The Jungle Book]]'': ''[[Mowgli's Brothers (TV special)|Mowgli's Brothers]]'', ''[[The White Seal]]'' and ''[[Rikki-Tikki-Tavi]]''. During this period, Jones began to experiment with more realistically designed characters, most of which had larger eyes, leaner bodies, and altered proportions, such as those of the ''Looney Tunes'' characters.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mark Twain inspired Chuck Jones to create this Looney Tunes character |url=https://www.metv.com/stories/mark-twain-inspired-chuck-jones-to-create-this-looney-tunes-character |access-date=March 4, 2022 |website=Me-TV Network |language=en}}</ref>
