Many many years later, Warner Bros. brought Chuck Jones back into the fold to create new Looney Toons cartoons. One of them was a sequel to One Froggy Evening entitled Another Froggy Evening. It's not as good but it;s still a kick to see Michigan J. back in action. I don't think it was ever released theatrically (it appears on the Space Jam dvd for some reason) but I did manage to see it at a Chuck Jones appearance at the Warner Bros. Store Gallery in Water Tower when Lisa met a guy at a wedding who worked for them and got us some free passes. You weren't allowed to go anywhere near Chuck Jones unless you were buying an original piece of animation art (no cericels) so I got to look at him from afar but they were running the cartoon on a giant screen every half hour or so and we stuck around to see it a couple of times at least.
A few years later, I met Roger Ebert at a book signing and rather than ask him a good question, I asked him how he felt about being immortalized in a Chuck Jones cartoon. He didn't even know it existed.
