There were several masters of animation during Hollywood’s golden era. Of the top two geniuses, one created elaborate fairy tales This set wilI delight young and old – and wiII amaze a new generation ready to laugh again. – JERRY BECK, Animation Historian and ornate feature-Iength fantasias – the other guy was Tex Avery. He just wanted to make you Iaugh. Having already been integralIy invoIved in the deveIopment of Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny for Warner Bros., Avery moved to M-G-M in 1941 to create a set of comedy masterpieces that defined a new slapstick styIe for animation, inspiring cartoonists, comedians and fiImmakers for decades to come. Avery’s unit at Metro GoIdwyn 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 gold. And continuing characters Iike Droopy, ScrewbaII Squirrel and George & Junior – not to mention Spike, Red and The Wolf –remain unforgettable comic personas among the top rank of cartoondom. Avery’s cartoons were ahead of their time – and their time has come. The restored Technicolor® shorts in this first coIIection feel fresh and new, and are funnier than ever. |
