Avery's Droopy cartoons contain some of his best gags and backgrounds. It's wonderful seeing it in DVD form. As a proud owner of "The Complete Tex Avery" on Laser Disk, I have been enjoying them for years. My only wish? That they continue putting out more Avery until they have covered all the cartoons on that legendary laser set! Please, please??

Frederick "Tex" Avery,late of the Warner Bros. animation studio,created a basset hound named Droopy shortly after arriving at MGM in 1942. I'm sure Avery sorely missed his WB stars Bugs Bunny,Daffy Duck and others. Avery's unresolved rift with WB producer Leon Schlesinger led to the transfer to MGM. Anyway,here are all of Droopy's(that particular adjective describes the hound's voice) adventures where we see him outsmarting villains and criminals such as in DUMB HOUNDED,NORTHWEST HOUNDED POLICE and others. Avery would later transfer to Wanter Lantz studios,where Woody Woodpecker is that studio's biggest star. Michael Lah assumed the responsibilities at Avery's off-leaving at MGM. Droopy would later appear on the small screen in television cartoons and broadcasts of the theatrical cartoons. It has been a few years since the theatrical cartoons aired on the Cartoon Network. I also used to see them on New York-based,independent WPIX Channel 11 in my native New Jersey also on Philadelphia-based and independent WTAF(now WTXF) Channel 29(this station was part of our cable television line-up until TNT(Turner Network Television) was launched on October 1,1988.). Most of these cartoons contained herein were part of the now-out-of-print collection,THE COMPLEAT TEX AVERY(it was only available on laser disc). Droopy fans also love Barney Bear,Screwy Squirrel,Spike and Tyke and of course,MGM's best-loved stars,Tom and Jerry. I dedicate this item to the memory of Avery(1908-1980).

Without a doubt, Tex Avery directed some of the funniest Hollywood cartoons ever made influencing generations of animators and directors to come! Tex directed noteworthy cartoons at Warner Brothers in the 1930s and was considered to be the father of the Bugs Bunny we all came to know from 1940 on. But, once Tex made the move to MGM, he hit the ground running. Almost at once, Tex's cartoons took on a slicker, faster, more irreverent tone which seemed to increase with each cartoon he made. His first efforts at the lavish MGM studio brought us "The Early Bird Dood It", "What's Buzzin' Buzzard" and "Blitz Wolf", the latter a hilarious WWII retelling of the 3 Little Pigs, featuring a Big Bad Wolf (who bears a striking resemblance to Hitler) getting his comeuppance from the smart little pig "Sergeant Pork". Droopy is one of Tex's few reoccurring characters, preceded briefly by Screwy Squirrel, a.... screwy squirrel who was hilarious and irreverent like Bugs Bunny but with slightly less charm which could make him grating. Droopy, the sardonic and ubiquitous hound, had the charm and wit needed to carry him though nearly 2 decades of the theatrical shorts featured in this collection. Now, It is interesting to note that, though most of the cartoons are Tex's, a few of the later cartoons (mostly the Cinema-scope offerings) were directed by Tex animator Michael Lah, who took over directing duties when an exhausted Tex left MGM for a rest, later resurfacing at Universal to make 3 brilliant cartoons for Walter Lantz before going into television to do animated commercials for another decade or so. Lah's cartoons continue the breakneck pacing set up by Tex, but sported greater stylization, in both characters and backgrounds, very reminiscent of the early Hanna Barbera television cartoons. And, why not? These later Droopy cartoons featured the inspired work of Lah, Ed Benedict, Dick Bickenbach, Fernando Montealegre and others who would later on lend their great talents to H & B shaping the look of it's early cartoon production for television. In the end, this is a really great collection of MGM cartoons (very nice prints, good sound, interesting extras), but just a fraction of the many wonderful cartoons Tex Avery directed during his stint at the studio. I hope that this collection will lead to another DVD set featuring Tex's other stellar MGM work such as "Red Hot Riding Hood", "Lonesome Lenny", "Bad Luck Blackie", "King Size Canary" and many, many more currently available only on VHS or Laserdisc.

I didnt even have to think about purchasing this at all. I've loved the Droopy cartoons since back in the day. I loved them so much when my order arrived i must have run through this collection at least 2 or 3 times. Quality packing and everything else considering when these cartoons were first done. So if your looking for a good quality collection of classic Droopy cartoons then. Then this collection is it, sit back, relax and enjoy the good times.
