The Wacky World of Tex Avery

Ahhh, Tex Avery. A wonderful animation legend that gave us so many memorable characters such as Bugs Bunny, Screwy Squirrel and of course Droopy and that wolf. He perfected the art of squash and stretch animation and his toons are loved by millions of fans everywhere.

Which was an absolute crying shame when those hacks at DIC (now DHX Media) decided they would rather pee all over his legacy and blatantly use his name and his style of animation for quite possibly the most insulting piece of TV animation ever made.

And they succeeded.

Instead of the wacky humour and delightful mayhem the real Tex Avery gave you, what DIC instead does is shove some appallingly bad plots, quite frankly unoriginal characters, animation that is so tasteless you'll feel sick after watching and the so called "comedy" in your face... hard.

You'll also get a decent cast including Billy West, Cree Summer, Maurice LaMarche, Ian James Corlett and Lee Tockar. They honestly try... they really do but in the end you'll be in tears thinking how these talented voice actors stumbled their way into this mess.

For extra plain cartoon goodness, buy that Droopy DVD set or something. For a massive insult to an animation legend, look no further than The Wacky World Of Tex Avery.

DIC will thank you for it.... and poor old Tex himself will be rolling in his grave.

"The Wacky World of Tex Avery" is one of the weirdest and surreal shows i've seen but at the same time, is one of the funniest shows i've seen. The show is great when it tries to parody different subjects, for example the educative cartoons, the classic movies and even the other versions of Tex Avery's Work. Great for animation fans, great for cartoon fans but maybe too weird for some people. The lost half is the best one of the two, it has more coherent stories and it's easier to get into it. The first half isn't bad by any means but it can probably be too weird for some people. There's an episode where Power Pooch must stop a hijacked plane . Definitively not for everyone, but is still a funny, surreal and -of course- twisted show. Good for kids and adults.

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!!!

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.
