At the beginning of both DVDs, there is a disclaimer addressing the issues of sexism and racism in the cartoons. I am an African-American who watched Droopy during my childhood in the late 70s and early 80s and was taught that this kind of creativity was the way things were back in the days when they were made. The cartoon can serve as a medium for teaching today's youth how some things in the USA have changed and some have not, both for the good and the bad. Today, it is definitely a different kind of USA.
Was I offended by what I saw? YES!
Do I recognize that people who are different from me would be offended by what they'd see? YES!
Was I entertained? I would be lying if I didn't say, "often times, YES!"

I've been waiting for something like this ... Some of Tex Avery's best cartoons on DVD. All of Droopy's best are here. If you're a Droopy fan than I greatly recommend this DVD set. We definitely need more Tex Avery! His fast paced cartoons are some of the funniest ever made. You won't be disappointed.

I loved this dvd! It has alot of the ones I remembered back in H.S.! Walter Lanz and Tex Avery were the best. I can't believe the cartoons still had me laughing. I'm very happy with this dvd!

Tex Avery's Droopy - The Complete Theatrical Collection
The good:
1. The cartoons are uncut and digitally restored.
2. Every single Droopy theatrical short is included in the set.
3. The packaging style is good & secure - no overlapping discs inside the case.
4. The DVD extras are interesting.
5. The artwork on the inside & outside of the packaging is well-done.
6. The "product of it's time/contains old stereotypes" warning isn't overdone in this collection - just a simple screen that explains the facts at the beginning of each disc.
7. There are no commercials on these discs.
8. The price is low compared to many other cartoon collections.
The bad:
1. There aren't any alternate language or commentary tracks included.
2. A couple of the later cartoons are remakes of earlier ones.
3. Although I'm usually annoyed by them, in my opinion, a couple of spots in this collection genuinely did deserve the "product of their times/stereotype" warning.
Summary: In my opinion, this set is one of the best collections of classic cartoons available for the price. If you are an adult fan of cartoons from this era, this will be a good choice. If, however, you are considering it as a gift for small children or someone who is easily offended, you may want to watch it yourself first.
