Movie Reviews of Tex Avery's Droopy - The Complete Theatrical Collection
Movie Review: It will never get better than this
Summary: 5 Stars
Nit-pickign aside (I read the reviews) I found this collection of Droopy cartoons superb. 10 out of 10. To notice the difference between one method of restoration and another is a time waster. Dixieland Droopy is clever, cute and worthy of awards. Butch as a waiter being tormented by Droopy twins is hilarious. Tex Avery made adult cartoons, so they were never made for children in the first place. That said, they are not edited -- God bless them. But honestly, will four-year-olds understand the humor of a dog who gets black faced when a rifle backfires? Come'on. These are hilarious and children will love them. And iif they are old enough to question whether or not the sterotypes are inappropriate by today's standards... answer them honestly. It's like watching Roots and not answering their questions.
Don't let my personal feelings get involved. Those particulars make up 1/100th of the content on the discs. The picture quality is superb and worthy of my bookshelf.
Movie Review: Wait...Droopy's a dog?
Summary: 3 Stars
At the beginning of both DVDs, there is a disclaimer addressing the issues of sexism and racism in the cartoons. I am an African-American who watched Droopy during my childhood in the late 70s and early 80s and was taught that this kind of creativity was the way things were back in the days when they were made. The cartoon can serve as a medium for teaching today's youth how some things in the USA have changed and some have not, both for the good and the bad. Today, it is definitely a different kind of USA.
Was I offended by what I saw? YES!
Do I recognize that people who are different from me would be offended by what they'd see? YES!
Was I entertained? I would be lying if I didn't say, "often times, YES!"
Movie Review: You Know What....I'm Happy..... I got this DVD set!!!

I've been waiting for something like this ... Some of Tex Avery's best cartoons on DVD. All of Droopy's best are here. If you're a Droopy fan than I greatly recommend this DVD set. We definitely need more Tex Avery! His fast paced cartoons are some of the funniest ever made. You won't be disappointed.Movie Review: A Must-Have if you loved the Droopy Cartoons.!
