 (G) (Dir Tex Avery. 84m) 35mm Prints.
Fredrick Bean "Tex" Avery was interested in animation from an early age. He started drawing comic strips in high school, and spent a summer studying art at the Chicago Art Institute. In 1935, Tex went to work at Warner Bros. where he created Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and created the personality of Bugs Bunny. He was with Warner from 1935 - 1941. During this time, he created animation that was a far cry from all the Disney animitators out there. A disagreement with Leon Schlesinger led Tex to quit Warner in early 1941. Later that year, Tex was hired by MGM. With new creative freedom, Tex created some of the best cartoons the world has ever seen. Tex did not concentrate on creating lasting characters, but on slapstick gags and humorous situations. Of all his characters, Droopy is the most popular. Tex Avery left behind a legacy of timeless cartoons, 12 of which we are showing: Happy-Go-Nutty, Jerky Turky, The Screwy Truant, Swing Shift Cinderella, Lonesome Lenny, Northwest Hounded Police, Uncle Tom's Cabana, King Size Canary, What Price Fleadom, Daredevil Droopy, Symphony In Slang, Magical Maestro.
