Wacky World of Tex Avery, Vol. 1, 40 Episodes

Animation aficionados can recognize and will enjoy the comedic and crazy antics of Frederick "Tex" Avery. With the outlandish expressions and suggestive humor involved in original classics, "The Wacky World of Tex Avery" is a brand-new series involving a tribute to the real Tex himself and all that he's done."The Wacky World of Tex Avery: Volume 1" has 40 frenetic episodes on 4 discs starring original characters in madcap misadventures. Here's the who's who and what's what:"Tex Avery" - He's a rootin' tootin' cowpoke with a surprisingly coincidental name. He keeps the Wild West safe from harm as he goes up against his nemesis Sagebrush Sid whether they're fighting for their claim of land or for the love of the beautiful Miss Chastity."Pompeii Pete" - The Roman Empire didn't seem to fall on this little centurion, or maybe it did - on his head ! Either way, you'll find this Italian-fluent fellow taking the role of all kinds of various occupations while testing the mettle of a guy named Dan."Power Pooch" - This caped canine crusader gets his super powers by gnawing on a magical shoe. Along with his sidekick Little Buddy, P.P. fights fiendish fiends like Dr. Hydrant and saves the day in the end. We hope."Genghis and Khannie" - Mighty Genghis is a conqueror who goes out into the world and attempts to take a new land for his almighty emperor while the adorable Khannie is a tiny tot who always seems to get in the way of Genghis and his conquering."Maurice and Mooch" - Maurice Squab is a happy-go-lucky young fowl while Mooch is an ever-hungry fox who persistently tries to capture and eat poor Maurice no matter how ridiculous his schemes are."Freddie the Fly" - Amanda Banshee is a filthy-rich lady who has a mansion and numerous butlers. She'd live her high life better if it weren't for a pesky vagabond fly named Freddie !"Einstone" - He's the intelligent caveman who's always inventing something practical for living in the Stone Age better or getting his fellow cave people out of trouble.So this DVD volume is pretty much worth your time and interest and the hilarity ensuing in each and every episode is worth it at least until the next volume. Personally, I'd like to see a special DVD collection of classics by the original Tex Avery (besides the "Droopy" collection), but that's just me.

I grew up watching these hilarious misadventures on TV. Can't understand why they've gone away with these cartoons in which the whole family could enjoy to these lousy Japanese action ones. My fondest memories are of these kinds of cartoons, and still love them to this day. If you want hilarious stories with funny cartoon characters that you and your kids can enjoy, then I highly recommend "The Wacky World of Tex Avery"!

I really wish I had read the reviews first. I had no idea that a CARTOON CHARACTER called Tex Avery existed. I was expecting "Car of Tomorrow" or "Farm of Tomorrow" and not this sad, sad mess that I received. I couldn't even watch one full cartoon. It's like the whole crapfest was conceived by a bunch of horny teenage boys who had never had a date with a real woman in their life. If you are expecting this to be anything at all like the original Tex Avery masterpieces, please save your money and pass this up.

A lot of people are disappointed with this not being the original Tex Avery, but for my brother and I this DVD is perfect. Tex Avery, Power Pooch and Little Buddy.. These are the cartoons we love! Bought this for my bro as a birthday gift and he loves it. Great price and fast shipping

not what I expected but that was my mistake,this edition is not the earlier Tex Avery cartoons which were really well drawn and animated.

Not actually Tex Avery's work, but that was my mistake. The animators for this show are true to form and do ol' Tex proud. One caveat, the cartoons do have more of a modern "gross factor." IMO, still pretty good.

Old school family entertainment. Our grandson gets a kick out of the toons his mother, aunt and uncle watched

I ordered this thinking it was a collection of Avery's vintage cartoons, and was unaware that this was a fairly recent ret-con redo of some classic Avery characters.Childish and lacking the edge of the real thing. Had I known what this was-- my own fault for not researching further, I would have never ordered it.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. It arrived promptly. My kids watched this show when they were young & they still enjoy it. We were so happy to find it available to purchase on dvd.

Great
