The Wacky World of Tex Avery: Tex Rides Again
This is a terrible disappointment to anyone who thinks the product has anything to do with the classic Tex Avery cartoons done for Warner Bros or MGM. Instead you get a series of the new style made for TV cartoons that just move fast and crazy instead of showing any of the art or comic timing that Tex was known for.

i was disappointed with this set of toons. i was expecting some of the old classics like barney bear and screwy squirrel.

The old Tex Avery cartoons are wonderful.....this is not them! I didn't read this carefully enough and thought it was the actual Avery cartoons. (purchased a bunch of cartoons that day, rushed it, my fault) This is just some modern cartoon of the usual low end production, nothing like the original theatrical shorts of Tex Avery. Very disappointed.

The cartoons on this DVD are "in Tex Avery's style." That is, they've used many of the tropes Avery did -- fast action, sexy women, (allegedly) goofy characters -- but managed to avoid anything resembling humor. The cartoons are annoying at best but more like painful to watch.

There are plenty of collections of Avery's ACTUAL work on this site and elsewhere. Don't waste time or money with this.

This is not the old classic Avery stuff...this is some newer done crappy produced garbage..Save your cash..pass on this one..

Be warned that this DVD does not contain any work by the animator, Tex Avery. The comments and packaging should be clearly explored before purchasing this product if you're expecting to expand your Tex Avery library.

If your old enough to remember these cartoons, then you understand what I'm talking about.
Back in the day when mom and dad let you stand up in the car sometimes jumping up and down only to have your parent slam on the brakes because some J-A cut them off, and you crash into the (STEEL) dashboard.
You picked your self up, brushed your self off and sat your BUTT down. You didn't darn cry because you'd get smacked again.
Thats what theses cartoons are all about, we all knew that if someone fell off a cliff you didn't get up and walk away. Coyotes didn't fly around on rocket motors and when a SEXY Lady walked by there would be Wolf whistles.
These are some of the best, made during that time frame, I'm just happy that everyone in the world doesn't think it's always important to be politcally correct.

This wasn't what I thought it was when I bought it but it works and there are no complaints. It's just my fault for not reading before purchasing. DVD works great!
