Thats very good news indeed! I used to have the Compleat Tex Avery and I miss it entirely....though I was helped out on quite a few of them.

Classic cartoons. Always liked the real Spike!

It's about time someone did something with the Pink Panther, I would love the excuse to watch it with my 3 year old Nephew

Pink Panther??? What does that have to do with the genius of Tex Avery the GODFATHER OF CARTOONS????

Guest · #333864

Nothing at all really but I just thought I would mention, if they are doing things with cartoons why not?????

Just wanted you to "wreckognize"!

But yeah, anything that draws attention away from the master is a crime.

I do enjoy the Pink Panther though.

Question for Tinc: How many Avery/ Droopy cartoons are made? And how many are there on the DVD??

I think that Tex directed 17 Droopy shorts. While I haven't seen the final list, my guess would be that most if not all of these will be featured on the upcoming DVD.

Thanks for the info! As far as I can remember I never saw more then 6 different ones,( and I liked them a lot) So,I hope it won`t take very long for this DVD to show up here in the Netherlands.

Wouldn't it be awesome to have that on DVD?! I mean Droopy, the Wolf, and Screwy Squirrel all in one set. WOW!!

I wish they would include the 4 cartoons he did for Walter Lance as well. That would complete the era.

Though I understand he did work in the 70's, it wasn't up to par with the golden age.

Oh well, I have them anyway, but they are cut.

I was talking with a friend at Warner today and he said that the Droopy set will consist of 2 discs. He didn't have a list of shorts or any info on extras. More when I have it.

Yes and I anxiously await! If they are uncut...even better.

Great stuff, though it shouldn't end there. The Wolf, Spike, Screwy, Home of the Future...etc.

They should release it all!
