Jones attended prestigious “the Chouinard Art Institute” become since the “California Institute off the Arts”. Chuck Jones started to earn his living by proposing portraits with a dollar part on Olvera Street. It is in 1932 qu ' it took its first steps in the world of animation when it was engaged by the key ex-organizer of the Disney studios, Ub Iwerks. It began its career in the world of animation to the bottom of the scale like cleaner of the cellulos used (Concealment-washer) in the studios of “Ub Iwerks” and thereafter, he will be stimulating assistant. It is at that time that it meets his wife Dorothy Webster.

He will work one brief moment with the studios of Charles Mintz and Walter Lantz before joining thereafter the studios Leon Schlesinger in 1933, a subsidiary company of the studios Warner Bros, creator of Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes where he will officiate during nearly thirty years until the closing of the studios in 1962, except for a short interlude in 1955 with the Studios Disney. Anecdote amusing, after some month to make it tower of the place, Jones declared with Walt Disney that the only function which interested it was that of Disney itself. By chance, Warner Bros re-employed Jones little time afterwards and it returned then with the characters of Marvin the Martian and Bip Beep and Coyote, (Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote).

As of its arrived with Warner Bros, it was introduced into the team of creation of Tex Avery. As it lacked place in the small studios of Schlesinger, Avery and Jones and the remainder of the team were installed in an adjacent building which was called. It becomes stimulating then at the sides of, and Bob Clampett, another creator of Warner Bros, at the origin of the term “Looney” of Looney Tunes. In 1938, to old 25 years, Jones directed its first cartoon " The Night Watchman ". It will end up directing its own department within Warner Bros, which will bring it in the Fifties - its most prolific period to create traditional cartoon like the legendary tandem Bip Beep and Coyote (Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote), Michigan J. Frog, Marvin the Martian (Marvin the Martian) or Pépé the fitchet. In most of his work, Jones will associate the scenario writer of talent Michael Maltese, in addition to resorting to the talents of draftsman, animation and realization of Maurice Noble, and.

During the Second world war Jones worked in close cooperation with Theodore Geisel (more known under the pseudonym Dr. Seuss) in the series of animation “”, a cartoon ordered by the American Army. In an amusing way, the Soldat Snafu showed the American soldiers how to pay an special attention to the risk of espionage or carelessness. Jones and Seuss let us collaborate then together on several adapted books of Seuss.

Following the closing of the studios of animation of Warner Bros in 1962, Chuck Jones leaves for the MGM (Subway-Goldwin-Mayer) and work on the series Tom & Jerry, while concentrating on various projects, such as the adaptation televised of special of Christmas “How Grinch stole Christmas” (Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!) another traditional of the cartoon which plays and rejoue in each Christmas since.

Always in 1962, Chuck Jones joins Goldman and founds their own company Sib Tower 12 Productions, which will become Chuck Jones Entreprises in 1970 with which it produced nine cartoon films half an hour for television between 1971 and 1976. They will join ABC Television in 1972 for the creation of the “Bugs Bunny Show”. With its company, it will make publicities, new cartoons, regular television programs.
