The Wacky World of Tex Avery

I don't want to just hate on anything or anyone, but this series is an insult to your intelligence and to Tex Avery. For Les Studios Tex to glom onto his name and then produce the waste of frames that they have is reprehensible. It's almost criminal. I've seen their products reviewed on other websites, and when I happened across some episodes on TV and watched for myself I couldn't have agreed more with the detractors. It isn't even so much about using Tex Avery's name or the blatant ripping off of his style (and poorly done at that), it's that this work isn't funny, it isn't well written, it's not even particularly animated with any originality or innovation. It appears to be a very elaborate, extensive attempt to make some money off of anyone who can't, or doesn't care to, distinguish between the classic Tex Avery cartoons and pale, pale imitations. I would request that the graphic for this page be changed for two reasons: 1) That's the cover to an MGM cassette of authentic Tex Avery cartoons, thus misleading and confusing as to the subject of this page, and 2) It's an insult and injustice to Tex Avery himself and the studio of brilliant talent who worked under him.

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 theme music from the animated series is a real find for fans of melodic and memorable compositions. It perfectly conveys the atmosphere of fun and carelessness that reigns in each episode.

The animated series consists of different segments in which the characters find themselves in the most incredible and funny situations, each segment has its own style and character, but they are all united by a common quality and originality. The drawing and plot of the animated series is at a high level. They are full of dynamics and originality. The adventures of Tex Avery, Chastity Nott, Sagebrush Sid, Einstone and Pompeii Pete stand out. These characters have their own unique style and character, they are full of energy and ingenuity, they constantly find themselves in funny and ridiculous situations that make the viewer laugh to tears. These characters are the best segments of the show that showcase the talent and imagination of the creators. I really like the funny situations and humor in these segments of the show.

Freddy the Fly, Maurice & Mooch, Genghis and Khannie and Power Pooch are segments they are also worthy of attention. These are cute and touching stories about friendship and family, about how important it is to be kind and sympathetic. These characters also know how to cheer up with their jokes and antics.

I was introduced to this "Wacky World" when I was 3-4 years old, and since then it has become one of my favorite animated show. My family and I sometimes review it with pleasure, because it does not lose its relevance and attractiveness. I really regret that the show is no longer released, it deserves to be continued in the original drawing.

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.

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.
