ever work for these companys? many one of the 9 old men?

Gay-Purree was written by Chuck Jones. According to imdb.com,Jones did this picture in violation of his exclusive Warner Bros contract. Warner Bros found out about it when they picked up Gay Purree for distribution from UPA. Chuck Jones was fired and he went to work for MGM.
I read Chuck Jones' autobiography Chuck Amuck and I don't recall him mentioning in the book that this happened. Then again its been awhile since I read the book.
