Tex Avery Screwball Classics Volume 1 [Blu-ray]

Tex Avery is a legend in the cartoon world and this collection is some of his best, crazy, and laughable cartoons one can buy and the 4K is just great! I'm glad I have the physical discs because just remember that if you bought the movies on digital, they're only good until the licenses to watch them expire and you no longer own the movies! It's true. Go look it up!

Tex Avery Screwball Classics Volume 1 is pure gold. I grew up loving Droopy, and seeing these restored cartoons brings back all the charm, wit, and wild animation that made Tex Avery a legend. The humor still holds up, and the timing is as sharp as ever. It's a reminder of how creative and bold animation used to be. I wish we had cartoons like this on TV again. Smart, fast-paced, and full of personality, this collection is a must-have for fans of classic animation or anyone who enjoys a good laugh.

Great Bluray.

I enjoy this Blu-ray set very much! Tex Avery was a genius at comedy. Warner Archive Collection brings us another fine set of classics!

So many of us have been waiting for decades to see Tex Avery's MGM cartoons given the treatment they so obviously deserve. Was it worth the wait? YES. These cartoons have never looked this good. Of course the content is exceptional. Zany stuff that's guaranteed to make you laugh. Mr. Avery continues to be my all-time favorite because he created a style that was truly unique and different. Wild, unpredictable, and amazingly self-aware...these cartoons are PURE GOLD. And WELL WORTH the price. Many may not realize that during his time with Warner Bros. Mr. Avery [a] gave Bugs Bunny his personality (including the "What's Up Doc?" line), [b] created the Daffy Duck character, and [c] transformed Porky Pig into the character we all know and love today. Can't wait to see the next batch. Hats off to the folks at Warner Bros. for cleaning up this fantastic collection of classic cartoons.

So I was expecting this blu ray to have special features or something besides just a plain menu, subtitles and the cartoons. It feels like someone took a blank blu ray disc uploaded the cartoons (the way people use to make mix tapes) and then slapped it in a box. Granted these are GREAT cartoons, nothing is detracting from that but I'm glad I only paid $10 for this because otherwise I would have really felt cheated. Whatever the case I am happy to own this great collection.

Was very happy when my copy of this release finally arrived. I had been hoping for a Blu-ray release of Tex Avery cartoons for a long time. This was worth the wait. The cartoons themselves are great. When Tex moved from Warner Bros to MGM in 1941, he brought speed and fluidity to animation that hadn't been seen before. it's like all the stops were pulled out and no holds were barred. The humor works so well, even today almost 80 years later. I think the key is that Tex didn't have kids in mind when making these shorts. He even stated so in an interview near the end of his life. not to say that these cartoons are Adults Only. Kids can enjoy too. But much was aimed at the grownups. The 19 cartoons in this collection cover a variety of characters from one-shot characters to frequently appearing characters like Screwball Squirrel and Droopy. There are only 4 Droopy cartoons, but there will hopefully be more releases. The restoration on these cartoons is top notch. There isn't a fleck or scratch to be seen. Beautiful color and sound. This is a bare bones release with no special features, but that's ok. There is also the typical Warner brothers disclaimer about how these cartoons are a "product of their time" and may be irreverent or offensive to some, but if you just keep that in mind and enjoy what you see, you'll be fine. This is just the tip of the iceberg. if you have any affinity for Golden Age Era animation, please purchase this volume. It will hopefully prompt Warner Studios to release more of the works of the great Tex Avery.

Product was delivered quickly, it looks great and plays fine with no region locking. You get a lot of cartoons in one disc. I wish you could just get vol. 1-3 all in one case, but at least if you buy them all individually, you have a lot of brilliant old school cartoons that's worth it to re-watch over and over whenever you want.
