Tex Avery

[ZenLunatic]

I was wondering how many Tex Avery fans there are here. I grew up watching up him but I dont think they play him anymore. Seems like stuff like that could be played forever for generations. I was huge into Tom and Jerry also. I just got a 5-disc full collection dvd of his stuff to relive the fun and it was well worth it. Do you guys have any memorable Tex Avery's? For those not familiar with Tex, he is most recognized character is Droopy but did alot of work with no defining characters.

 

I loved all the Things of Tommorow ones, especially when they slammed on the mother-in-law. Also liked the little car and jet family ones. My favorite could be the Magnificent Puchini, where it was set where that dog was an opera singer and the conductor had a magic wand where he kept changing what the dpg was doing. What a classic. Or maybe the one where that dog had to be very quiet cause the bear was sleeping, and ended up running out far off to the hill to make any sound. You know which ones I am talking about? So many other good ones to name to go on.

Love me some Tex.

I think that he could be a little too politically INcorrect for these times, though.

Still, the guy's a genius.

 

Along with the old Warner Brothers cartoons, those were the best there were.

Tex Avery, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, and Chuck Jones were all amazing. The "politcial incorectness", was big a part of making those old time cartoons so hilarious. It's a travesty that they aren't on mainstream television anymore.

Comcast needs to carry Boomerang.
