Speaking Of Tex Avery…A Special Find

This starts at the segment that I remember laughing at as a five year old boy in 1955 at a movie theater. The “naked” turkey had me in stitches. Anyone else remember this?

If found this wile doing some research on Tex Avery. This is a great MGM Cartoon he directed after leaving Warner Brothers. This is actually a compilation of 4 Avery directed “future features” that included the Home, Car, TV and Farm of Tomorrow done between 1949 and 1954. Enjoy and let me know if you remember this!

    Symphony in Slang was brillant, as were so many other Tex Avery cartoons.

    One of the finest practitioners of animation art, ever. I got to the point where if Tex Avery wasn’t involved, I didn’t watch.

    Tex Avery made huge waves in animation at Warner Bros. and MGM. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” is styled throughout like one of his cartoons. And since this Facebook page is about television, you can’t forget Avery’s commercials for Raid. Brilliant!
