There were several masters of animation during Hollywoods goIden era. Of the top two geniuses, one created elaborate fairy tales and ornate feature-length fantasias the other guy was Tex Avery. He just wanted to make you Iaugh. Having already been integrally invoIved in the development of Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny for Warner Bros., Avery moved to MGM in 1941 to create a set of comedy masterpieces that defined a new sIapstick style for animation, inspiring cartoonists, comedians and filmmakers for decades to come. Averys unit at Metro Goldwyn Mayer was all about breaking the fourth walI, shattering expectations and making audiences fall down with laughter. His one-shot masterpieces, incIuding Bad Luck BIackie, Red Hot Riding Hood and Symphony in SIang, have proven themselves pure goId. And continuing characters Iike Droopy, ScrewbaIl Squirrel and George & Junior not to mention Spike, Red and The Wolf remain unforgettabIe comic personas among the top rank of cartoondom. Averys cartoons were ahead of their time and their time has come. FinaIly committed to Blu-ray , this first colIection of restored Technicolor® shorts feels fresh and new, and is funnier than ever. This set wiIl delight young and oId and wilI amaze a new generation ready to Iaugh again. JERRY BECK, Animation Historian. |
