Die Tex Avery Show

Tex Avery was one of the true greats of animation; his last work may have been for "The Kwicky Koala Show," but at least he was involved with it. "The Wacky World of Tex Avery" only used his name, and it tried to adopt his style of animation... but they forgot one little thing.

They forgot to make it funny.

The various components were hyperactive, but they weren't exactly amusing; and it wasn't like it was particularly well done animation-wise either. Even the theme music wasn't original. People wanting decent cartoons from France are better off with "Insektors"; for the true wacky world of Tex Avery, see the real cartoons he did and avoid this insult.

Incidentally, DIC is short for Diffusion, Information, Communication. All of which imply intelligence, which is in even shorter supply here than in most of the shows from that company.

Wacky World is so many humor and cringe.... This show is SUCK!!!

Unwatchable drek.

Creator of such classic characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Screwy Squirrel, and Droopy, Tex Avery was one of the best, and funniest animators of the golden age. These decidedly unfunny, juvenile cartoons are marketed as an homage to Avery's genius, but they are little more than badly-drawn, badly-animated, badly-written and badly-directed insults to his legacy.

Avery apparently left no descendants to protect his name and legacy after his death, allowing them to fall into the public domain and ultimately become appropriated by DIC Entertainment.

If you ever find yourself near Forest lawn Cemetery and hear a rumbling noise, that may be old Tex, rolling in his grave.

In all honesty, I don't get all of the bad reviews that say this show isn't "Wacky". Because what else is it supposed to be? It's wacky, totally crazy, leaps and bounds in storytelling and just a 20-minute craziness that you first have to design. The fact that Tex Avery was chosen as the namesake seems angry to some here, but it's just a homage. Tex Avery was wacky in its day and nostalgic gold in today, while this cartoon Wacky is 90s and early 2000s style and of course cartoonish too. All in all, you can say that you can definitely have brisk fun here, which gives a really insane insight into the insane possibilities of the world of humor.

I had the misfortune to be involved with the broadcast of this series on a UK TV Channel a few years back. Every minute spent in front of it was painful.

Given the originality & sheer inventiveness that Tex Avery brought to his creations I'm not quite sure how the producers of this 'homage' were able to live with themselves. Poor animation, hackneyed (and distinctly unfunny) jokes, coarseness in place of genuine humour - all these things added together made this probably one of the very worst animation series I've ever had anything to do with. And THAT is saying something, believe ME..

Using Tex Avery's name in conjunction with this rubbish would no doubt have had him spinning in his grave.
