Chuck Jones, the film-maker who helped bring Bugs Bunny and many other cartoon characters to life on theater screens and on television, has died at the age of 89.

Besides Bugs Bunny, Mr. Jones' most popular characters included Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Wile E. Coyote. He made more than 300 animated films, beginning in the 1930s, and won three of Hollywood's Oscars for his work.

Mr. Jones died Friday at his home in southern California.
