Tex Avery's Droopy: The Complete Theatrical Collection (DVD, 2007)

Here is a great collection of 24 cartoon shorts, Directed by the great (and slightly demented) Tex Avery.

That lovable Droopy dog with the low monotone voice and great detective skills is showcased here in his first DVD collections release. All 24 shorts have been remastered and restored and look very good for 50-60 year old film.

Originally released in theaters between 1943 - 1958, these shorts are definately a product of their time. There is a disclaimer at the beginning about the racial and sexist themes that run in these features. I let my young son watch these with me and he was unaware of the adult themes and laughed everytime the wolf got whacked with a mallet.

Comes on 2 DVDs and packaged nicely. Great supporting characters (Butch the dog, The Howling Wolf with the pop-out eyes etc)

Great fun for all. tex Avery and crew do a great job. Many of these shorts are produced by Hanna & Barberra who were working for MGM at the time.
