Most new arts and culture venues are keen on getting bugs out when they open, but the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is considering getting Bugs in.Construction hasn’t started yet, but the Los Angeles film museum that plans to open in 2017 is a strong candidate to receive “What’s Up Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones,” a touring exhibition that will launch a five-year, 13-city trek July 19 at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City. It features Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner and other characters from the Warner Bros. cartoon menagerie created or perfected by Jones, the celebrated Southern California animator and director who died in 2002.Morgan Kroll, spokeswoman for the Academy Museum, said Thursday that an appearance by Bugs and the rest of the Jones gang at the museum-to-be on Wilshire Boulevard “isn’t yet confirmed or finalized.” But Robert Patrick, marketing director of the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity in Costa Mesa, said a June 16-Sept. 23, 2018, run is tentatively scheduled at the Academy Musuem.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is one of four groups organizing the tour, along with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, founded by the animator in 1999

, and the Museum of the Moving Image.As of Friday morning the tour stops listed on the Smithsonian's exhibition website didn’t extend beyond January 2016, with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and the EMP Museum in Seattle listed as venues following the debut run in New York, scheduled to end in January 2015. The academy, which has a vast archive of documents and artifacts from movie history, has frequently lent materials to exhibitions at other museums. Now it’s establishing its own, raising $300 million for construction and operations. Plans call for renovating a 300,000-square-foot building on the campus of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and building an adjacent 1,000-seat cinema under a huge dome.The Smithsonian’s announcement of the Chuck Jones exhibition this week promised it would include 23 of Jones’ animated films in “wall-size projections,” along with more than 125 drawings, storyboards, photographs and other materials documenting the creative process of Jones and his collaborators.

The show will fill a relatively modest 3,500 square feet of exhibition space.The motion picture academy presented Jones with an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement in 1996.Nine short films he directed were Oscar nominees, and three won the statue. Two came in 1950: “For Scent-imental Reasons,” in which the amorous French skunk Pepe Le Pew mistakenly wooed a black cat after spilled dye gave her a white stripe, and “So Much So Little,” an animated documentary advocating for better healthcare.

Dogs are not just man's best friend.After just 10 days of being apart from one another (although that may be longer in dog years) Jasper the cat pounces on her canine companion Bow-Z and keeps on hugging him, and hugging him....and hugging him.YouTube user joshbouz posted the heart melting video online back in 2012 and since then it has racked up over 6 million views. Is it really you?: Jasper the cat stares lovingly at her best dog friend Bow-Z before giving him the hug of a lifetime (for a lifetime) Where have you been?: Jasper the cat hasn't seen Bow-Z in 10 days so she jumps up to give him a hug Still hugging: Jasper can't take her tiny paws off of Bow-Z's neck because she misses him so much As soon as Jasper catches a glimpse of Bow-Z she can't help but wrap her tiny arms around his neck.'Meow,' Jasper exclaims several times as if to say, 'I missed you so much. How could you ever leave me?' When her tiny claws fail her and she falls off her furry friend's neck, she resiliently goes up to give him another very long hug.

Bow-Z who is less emotive than his feline companion wags his tail silently and walks into the next room.Not letting him out of her sight, Jasper follows Bow-Z as he walks away and continues to jump on him for more hugs. No hug back?: Japser continues to hug Bow-Z as he wags his tail silently, perhaps too overcome with emotion to let out a single woof Don't leave again!: As Bow-Z walks into the next room, Jasper keeps a tight grip on him as she doesn't let him out of her sightWarner Brothers never could have known the phenomenon they were creating when they began the Looney Tunes series back in the 1930’s. One by one, they created one iconic cartoon character after another; Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc. Today, more than 80 years after the airing for the first Looney Tunes cartoon, the group of characters known as the Looney Tunes are household names around the world. Would you believe that the purpose of creating Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies was not to have one of the largest cartoon franchises in the world, but to promote their music?

“Where have I been all your life?” – Stinky  (Odor-able Kitty, 1945) In 1945, Looney Tunes introduced an easily smitten French skunk named Stinky. In this cartoon short (Odor-able Kitty, 7:14 running time), Stinky’s love interest is actually a male cat who has disguised himself as a skunk to evade some bullies. Stinky chases the cat all around town. In the end, we find out that Stinky actually an unfaithful husband and father who is only pretending to be French (he is really an American named Henry).  “Stinky” whose name was changed to Pepé le Pew, appeared in a few episodes, but was not a big hit with the audience. “Le belle femme skunk fatale” – Pepé le Pew (For Scent-imental Reasons, 1949) Everything changed for Pepé le Pew in 1949 with the debut of the academy award winning cartoon short For Scent-imental Reasons. This cartoon introduced a beautiful (but unlucky) black cat named Penelope. Penelope was different than Pepé’s previous loves;

she  didn’t speak (and wouldn’t speak until 1995’s Carrotblanca), had an attitude and really gave Pepé a dose of his own medicine. By the end of the short, the tables were turned and Penelope was chasing after Pepé. The audience loved the pairing of Pepé le Pew and Penelope. More than 60 years after the beginning of their relationship, Penelope and Pepé le Pew are still going strong. Their older cartoons are still being viewed and more cartoons are being made for Cartoon Network. Warner Brothers has licensed tons of merchandise featuring the pair. While the merchandise tends to feature Pepé and Penelope totally in love with one another, the cartoons still display their love/hate/chase relationship. After many name changes (the black cat, Fifi, Fabrette, Le Cat, etc) Penelope was officially dubbed Penelope Pussycat by Carrotblanca (1995). For Scent-imental Reasons (1949) Directed By: Charles M Jones *Note for those watching with children: There is a part in this short where Pepé holds a gun to his head, walks off camera and pulls the trigger.
