Way up in the Big Leagues in Termite Terrace

1933 now, hired by Friz Freleng as an assistant animator and Chuck was part of Leon Schlesinger Studio, which left a lasting impression on Jones, he admired and revered Freleng for the rest of his life.
"No one except Tex Avery had as perfect a sense of timing as did Friz Freleng"
The promotion to full fledged animator came in 1935, which saw him being transferred to work with a new director Tex Avery. Given the small working space in Schlesinger's studio, Tex Avery took his new found team made up of Bob Clampett, Virgil Ross, Sid Sutherland, Mr Avery and of course Chuck Jones to a close by building which they entitled "Termite Terrace".
