Big Changes

During the 1950, Jones and Maltese began work on a short that would alter the personality of Daffy Duck forever, the was called "Rabbit Fire". Changing him from the wacky comic relief character, to an egomaniacal vain prima donna aiming for spotlight of Bugs Bunny. Chuck commented on his versions of Bugs and Daffy, saying "Bugs is who we want to be, Daffy is who were are."

There was also a time when Mr Jones became a temporary Disney man, working with Ward Kimball on "Sleeping Beauty"(1959). Mind you this all happened within a four month period whilst Warner Bros. closed their animation studio during 1953.
