And maybe you have to be a Texan to really get animator Tex Avery, but this documentary helps. This 20 minute documentary, which comes with the DVD set, "Tex Avery's Droopy - The Complete Theatrical Collection" came out in 2007 but is still in print at reasonable prices. "Droopy and Friends: A Laugh Back" was quite interesting. Apparently Droopy WAS Tex Avery, at least personality wise. Physically the two couldn't have been more different - Avery was no 120 pound weakling. Like Droopy, though, Tex Avery was a man of few words with a laid back way about him, of course, unless you got him riled. Included in this documentary are interviews with animator John Canemaker, Andy Heyward, and cartoonists Don Dougherty and Scott Shaw.

Warning: Spoilers
. . . favorite movie, whether you are from a former blue state and are partial to WIZARD OF OZ, or were spawned in a rebel hotbed devoted to GONE WITH THE WIND, or follow The Squad in supporting ROBIN HOOD and Errol Flynn of Real Life CUBAN REBEL GIRLS fame. DROOPY & FRIENDS even includes TARZAN footage for the many Neanderthals among us. Unlike the prolific Bugs Bunny, who gave Mr. Avery the boot, Droopy could only make it through two dozen episodes. I guess a little Droopy goes a long, long, long way.
