Fred "Tex" Avery is highly regarded as one of the greatest cartoonists of all time. His films continue to entertain fans around the world and are still just as fresh and funny as when they were made. He invented the wacky, zany, cartoony style that reminds us, "In a cartoon, you can do anything!" He began directing cartoons full-time at the Leon Schlesinger Studio, helping to create characters like Porky, Daffy, Bugs, and Elmer.This DVD collects some of the early films he directed during his tenure at the Schlesinger Studio: Porky's Garden (B+W, 1937) I Wanna Be a Sailor (Color, 1937) Hamateur Night (Color, 1939) A Day at the Zoo (Color, 1939) The Early Worm Gets the Bird (Color, 1940) The Haunted Mouse (B+W, 1941) Porky's Preview (B+W, 1941) All This and Rabbit Stew (Color, 1941)Bonus Features: In the late 1950s, Tex Avery began to work on animated TV commercials. These are some compilations of commercials that we believe were either directed or produced by Avery. Mel Blanc also provided voice work. Vintage Raid commercials Vintage Kool Aid commercials Vintage Fritos commercials starring the Frito Bandito

Early Tex Avery
These are early Tex Avery cartoons that he made when he worked for Warner Bros. After working for WB, he went to work for MGM and made Droopy, Red Hot Riding Hood, and Screwy Squirrel.Everything is uncensored as far as I can tell. (There's even a censored 11 cartoon! "All This and Rabbit Stew" with Bugs Bunny.)The video quality is very good except for a few of the commercials that look like age took a toll on them, but are still watchable. He made the commercials when he left the Walter Lantz studio (this is also after MGM).I've purchased this DVD for several friends and everyone was really happy with it. I recommended it for Tex Avery fans and fans of old school cartoons. I also recommend getting "Tex Avery's Droopy", "The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection Vol. 1" (contains the stuff he made while working for Walter Lantz), and "The Compleat Tex Avery" laserdisc set.

Not a high end product...
Not the best quality of transfers, especially the "extras". They looked like they came from VHS tapes. The media is DVD-R.I wasn't very impressed with the collection. I didn't feel ripped off, but don't expect too much if you buy one.

Disappointed
Was seriously disappointed that more porky pig cartons than Tex Avery, which is what I thought I was buying. Wouldn't recommend to serious Tex Avery fans.

Where to Find Tex Avery MGM Cartoons
If you've come here looking for a complete collection of Tex Avery MGM cartoons, sadly, this is not it. In fact, as of mid-2019, the only complete collection of Tex Avery available in the United States and Canada is on laser disc. Fortunately, Warner has released most of the Tex Avery MGM library on DVD and Blu-ray---but the toons are scattered across a spectrum of classic MGM films and one Tex Avery collection, "Droopy: The Complete Theatrical Collection." Of the 67 cartoons Tex directed for MGM, only nine are not available.
