If you are a fan of the Droopy cartoons, this is a must-have. It is interesting to see them all together, to see how Droopy evolved over the years. Personal opinion - after Tex Avery stopped doing Droopy, the cartoons weren't as funny. But it's good to have them all there.

I am a 25 year old man who loves cartoons. This was the best purchase I have made. I laugh out loud every time I watch this set. My favorite cartoons are THREE LITTLE PUPS, HOMESTEADER DROOPY, DROOPY'S DOUBLE TROUBLE, and WAGS TO RICHES. Of course I like all of the cartoons on here. Nice to see the Michael Lah cartoons presented in their original widescreen format, and all the cartoons are uncensored, so that's a plus. I hope that Warner's will continue to release all of Tex Avery's MGM output to DVD.

Like most animation fans I love the work of Tex Avery for its rich, varried and fast paced humor. As a teacher of animation history I show my students about 2 hours of Avery's best work after their midterm exam each semester to cheer them up. That selection always includes at least one Droopy short.
I assume the producers of this collection thought the best way to sell Avery's work is to give the public a well known star who had a TV show years ago. That may sell more DVDs than a disc set called The Crazy World of Tex Avery, but in Averys case they are simply selling a once popular name and not the artist's best work. Avery's best shorts were not cartoons that featured the same star over and over. While a few of the Droopy shorts are brilliant, it appears Avery's producer or the front office at MGM told him they wanted more of the same. As a result too many of the shorts on the disc are full of variations of the same plots and gags. To make matters worse there are several late Droopys directed by Mike Lah after Avery left MGM that are disapointing for many reasons.
If you are an Avery fan the set is worth buying for the 5 or 6 gems on it and to understand what happens when the boss says give me more of the same. Seeing the set also helps explain why Avery felt he had to leave directing theatrical cartoons. I hope enough copies of this DVD set sell so in another year or two we will be treated to a much better selection of Avery classics. Many of those shorts do not feature a star, but are brilliant "one off" films; wonderful works of surreal humor. Avery is still in my mind the king of cartoons, but you might not agree he was that great after seeing this selection that features too many of his lesser works.

Droopy is one of the funniest cartoon characters on the face of the earth!
He is so unpredictable, which is where the hilarity comes from. I believe this collection is Droopy's first on DVD. In that case, go Droopy! I've waited a long time for this amazing cartoon to be released on DVD!

finally, the collection comes out. i guess as a kid, i thought there was much more, but i guess not. i really enjoy these, as i do looney tunes, anamaniacs, flintstones, tom and jerry, etc. but there were two droopys not found on the dvds. i thought this was "complete?" join me in remembering the other two(my favorites): the first is very similar in theme to deputy droopy; difference being in a cave with someone always saying he wanted "peace and quiet, peace... and QUIET!" every time they made noise, they ran out and up the hill like in 'deputy droopy.' the other cartoon, because the wolf is on these dvds, is the wolf with "BILLY THE GOAT" who wouldn't stop eating everything in sight. billy ate his house, railroad track around world and back, and ate the moon at the end. DOES ANYONE KNOW THESE? where are these now? three stars are for these two greats missing, but the rest are great! p.s. i noticed tex and chuck jones tend to use same words,scenes, and themes in different character settings: like a droopy cartoon reused with looney tunes characters and chuck's tom and jerry scenes redone for looney tunes. interesting.
