Product Description

After altering the face of cartoon comedy at Warner Bros. with his development of characters such as Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny, Avery headed to M-G-M to further his reign of mayhem with the likes of Screwball Squirrel, Red Hot Riding Hood and Droopy. All of Avery's star characters are featured here: Droopy, as a Mountie, a bullfighter and a Western deputy; Spike, as a hibernating bear's weary watchdog; Red, as both Cinderella and a frontier cowgirl; and Screwball Squirrel, as -- what else? -- an escapee of a lunatic asylum. But it's the stories, premises and gags that are front and center in Avery's films -- and this collection features his absolute best. Where to begin? With a cat, a mouse, a dog and a canary drinking "Jumbo Gro"; a lovelorn skunk stuck on imitating Frank Sinatra; or a baby billy goat who eats absolutely everything including the cartoon's background paintings? Avery's screwball classics, his one-shot wonders, are what really made his reputation.

The Tex Avery Screwball Classics Collection has been increased with the addition of more shorts from the MGM Period of Frederick Bean Avery, known by his friends as "Tex." Last time, Volume 2 came with some interesting shorts like "Little Rural Riding Hood," "The Cuckoo Clock," "Magical Maestro," and the Cartoons of Tomorrow. This time around, we are treated to around 20 more Tex Avery Cartoons including:

- Blitz Wolf
- The Early Bird Dood It
- One Ham's Family
- Happy-Go-Nutty, starring Screwy Squirrel (one that played ALL DAY on April Fool's Day, many years ago, might I add!)
- Jerky Turkey
- The Shooting of Dan McGoo
- Swing Shift Cinderella
- Wild and Woolfy
- Northwest Hounded Police
- Slap Happy Lion (with Tom & Jerry ending cards)
- King-Size Canary
- What Price Fleadom
- Little 'Tinker
- Señor Droopy (from Guadalupe)
- Cock-a-Doodle Dog
- Rock-a-Bye Bear
- Little Johnny Jet
- Billy Boy (boy-boy-boy-boy)
- Deputy Droopy
- Cellbound

And one Bonus Cartoon from Tex's days with Warner Bros. and Leon Schlesinger: The Crackpot Quail with Original audio.

Now, I was told that these cartoons are all uncut by Jerry Beck in a post about it, hence the Meathead quote for the title of this review. And as of this writing of the review, there is only 7 Tex Avery Cartoons left for Warner Archive to release, so they can prevent me from wanting to get "the Compleat Tex Avery" on Laserdisc. They need to release these on Volume 4:

- Uncle Tom's Cabaña
- Half-Pint Pygmy
- Henpecked Hoboes, starring George and Junior
- Lucky Ducky
- Droopy's Good Deed
And the CinemaScope Remakes:
- Millionaire Droopy
- Cat's Meow

Of course, if they put those on there, they should throw in some Warner Cartoons he did, like "The Village Smithy," "Daffy Duck and Egghead," "Daffy Duck in Hollywood," and even "Believe It Or Else!" I love the set, and it really does make for a great bit of binge-watching, when combined with the other two sets and extras. If you're into Tex Avery's MGM years, this and the first two volumes oughta be good for you. You don't want the remaining 7 Cartoons from MGM to go unreleased, do ya?

Rounding out the last of the releasable MGM Tex Avery cartoons, this is another five-star home run from Warner Archive. The quality level is back to the first volume's standards (and doesn't use mediocre preexisting transfers as the second volume mostly did). Which is wonderful, as this may be the best cross-selection of the MGM Avery filmography, starting with the first-ever release BLITZ WOLF (reports online explain how the first two minutes of this cartoon only survive as a dupe negative, but for some reason it sure looked sharper in past releases) to his last cartoon CELLBOUND (finished by his best animator, Mike Lah). Sprinkled throughout are more than a few of the all-time greatest cartoons ever made like HAPPY-GO-NUTTY, SWING SHIFT CINDERELLA, NORTHWEST HOUNDED POLICE, SLAPHAPPY LION, KING-SIZE CANARY, ROCK-A-BYE BEAR, BILLY BOY, and DEPUTY DROOPY. And as an added bonus, a not-so-all-time greatest from near the end of Avery's Warner career, CRACKPOT QUAIL, with its original soundtrack making its worldwide premiere.

With the restoration standard back to the level we have a right to expect from Warner Archive*, and Tex Avery being Tex Avery, you have *zero* reason to hesitate clicking the "Buy Now" button. Whassamatta, you DEEF or somethin'!?

* One caveat - there is a smattering of automatic clean-up removing bits of animation here and there, but in only one case is it offensively egregious: in NORTHWEST HOUNDED POLICE, the dot on the map representing the escaped convict wolf *completely disappears* !! Hopefully at some point this is corrected, but considering the downplaying of how the second volume mostly featured reject masters, it's doubtful.

Great restorations and great cartoons overall.

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021

After 2 amazing volumes of Tex Avery’s MGM cartoons, Volume 3 didn’t fail to amaze me. Animation purists should be happier with this volume as the film grain is left intact rather than being barely visible. I don’t play shorts frame by frame, so I can’t say anything about DVNR, which was a big complaint in Volume 2 which I didn’t mind as I don’t play cartoons frame by frame. I will say, though, that some of the restorations look much darker than previous prints, with Slap Happy Lion being the biggest example. Also, the restorations for Blitz Wolf and Little Johnny Jet look different than their restorations for the Academy Awards collection. Personally, I thought the Academy Awards restorations look better color wise, but that’s just my opinion. The cartoons are the best they’ve looked in decades. Happy Go Nutty looks amazing as well as Jerky Turkey. Another highlight is The Crackpot Quail with the original soundtrack, and yes it’s restored and looks amazing. The original soundtrack with the razzing noise is much funnier than the whistle version, and fits with the dialogue more. I highly recommend this volume and let’s hope a Volume 4 comes out with the remaining 5 shorts, including Uncle Tom’s Cabana and Half Pint Pygmy.

Var ute efter en blu-ray utgåva. Missade att det var en vanlig dvd. Trodde att den här restaurerade utgåvan endast gjordes i blu-ray-format och av priset att döma var det svårt att tro att det var en vanlig dvd. Möjligtvis kan det skrivas och framgå tydligare i text om det rör sig om dvd eller blu-ray:) Har nu beställt en blu-rau utgåva!
