Released in 1991, this MGM/UA compilation of Tex Avery's Warner Brothers insanity should have been a slam dunk. Unfortunately, "The Golden Age of Looney Tunes" combines Avery gems such as "Thugs With Dirty Mugs" (1939) and "Cross Country Detours" (1940) with lesser efforts like "The Crackpot Quail" (1941). Since the out-of-print video includes seven cartoons, you're not exactly getting value for money. Making matters worse, Warner has consistently shortchanged Avery in its "Golden Collection" DVD sets. Animation aficionados deserve a more representative selection of Tex's early brilliance.

Very appropriate to have Egghead on the cover, because he's the only popular (well, that's kinda stretching it, now isn't it?) character on here.

1. Cinderella Meets Fella (Egghead)
2. Hamateur Night (Egghead)
3. Thugs With Dirty Mugs
4. Cross-Country Detours
5. Dangerous Dan McFoo (Egghead)
6. The Bear's Tale
7. Crackpot Quail

Tex Avery,former cartoonist at MGM in the 30s,40s and 50s,was also a great cartoonist for Warner Bros.Now you can collect the great masterpieces of this great Texasman on home video.(Sorry MGM,you're not invited to the party.)These Tex Avery cartoons are very hard to find,and I don't know their names.Although we are already familiar with Looney Tunes Hour on YTV,CBC and Teletoon,things are going very well for us Canadians.So,if you wanna bring a little Tex Avery in you,you just gotta buy this!
