Animation Direction of Tex Avery

Beyond good, beyond evil, beyond your wildest

imagination. Hello. Hello. Hey, uh, what kind

of a cartoon is this gonna be, anyway? Well,

you see, I... I play the lead in the picture,

and my name is Sammy Squirrel, and the story

is all about me and my cute little furry friends

in the forest. Oh brother, not that, not that!

Mr. Beaver, and Wallace Woodchuck, and Buster

Badger, and Horace Hedgehog, and Scott Skunk,

and Barney Bear, and Tommy Monkey, and Dorothy

Duck... You would like the story anyway. Hello

and welcome to Tooncast Beyond. This is the third

out of 12 episodes for the Animation Direction

Spotlight. I am one of your hosts, TF2 and Mike,

and joining me is TV's Mr. Neil. I do this kind

of thing to him all through the picture. That

is a Tex Avery classic. It is. It is. Tex Avery

is... His cartoons were... Amazing. Yeah. Cause

his cartoons, I would think that out of, I could

be wrong, you can correct me if I'm wrong on

this. I think out of all of the, you know, the

general Looney Tunes directors, he is the one

that has the most work at other studios. Outside

of Disney himself, but I mean like, out of the

core Looney Tunes crew, he is the one that has

the most credits outside of Warner, right? Right.

And he really did his most, his biggest evolution

outside of Warner. I mean, he was just starting

to blossom when he left Warner Brothers. And

he really only developed his abstract style while

at MGM. Yeah, I love his MGM stuff. Mean the

the the house the car the farm the TV of tomorrow

that entire that entire Line there Did he I know

he did that house of tomorrow who did the other

one with the two mice with um I Don't know I

thought it was him. I honestly did I could be

wrong, but I thought it was him But yeah, I mean,

Tex Avery has a huge, huge lineup of cartoons

that are absolutely amazing. And just, he was

one of the first guys, other than Bob Clampett,

to really figure out that you can totally break

the rules in animation. Up until these guys came

on the scene, cartoons were mostly musicals.

They're not really gag -centric. Disney cartoons

were funny, but they were never that funny. And

porcupine cartoons, up until a certain point,

were not very funny. And then they were like,

wait a minute. We could do anything we want.

That's where Bob Clamp and Tex Avery just went.

totally balls to the walls and saying, and text

just kept getting better. It's just like by the

end of his career, he was just like doing doing

gags like every every second. And like I said,

whereas Bob was very well, he had kind of an

abstract style, but he was but the way he designed

characters was very volume volumetric. You know,

it actually looked like the characters took up

space. Tex Avery had a very abstract style like

characters look really flat, but they were really

weird and and strangely designed and and It really

made especially in the in the MGM days It really

made for like a signature style. You always knew

you were watching a Tex Avery cartoon especially

after he teamed up with With MGM well at Benedict

because when he went over to When he went over

to MGM, he contacted Ed Benedict. And Ed Benedict

was the guy who, you know how the early Hanna

-Barbera characters have like the parrot mouth,

you know, it's just kind of this simplistic mouth.

He's the guy who came up with that. And that's

why a lot of the Tex Avery cartoons kind of resemble

early Hanna -Barbera, even more so than the Tom

and Jerry cartoons do. I mean, that's really

why. So it's these two goofy men just coming

up with this style. And it was such a great style,

honestly. I mean, the man... You know, he spent...

In late 35, he migrated to Leon Schlesinger and

Termite Terrace. And he would have... From Walter

Lance, we should say. He worked on some of the

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons. Yes, he did.

He was nicknamed Tex in Texas because he was

raised in Taylor, Texas. But yeah, I mean, you

know, he worked at with Walter Lance Studio,

and then he moved to Termite Terrace, and then

we have some of the creation of Looney Tunes,

and he was the one that introduced Daffy. Yeah.

With the new form of looniness and zaniness that

had not been seen before in animated cartoons.

Daffy was almost completely out of control darn

fool duck. I... Text Avery. It's a director like

him that makes, like... That really makes me

miss Toon Heads. Because Toon Heads, every time

I caught Toon Heads on Cartoon Network, it was

always the spotlight on Avery. And it would show

Avery stuff for an hour a night. It's just so

so good. Well, there was so much fuel for Avery

stuff that they actually had their own show for

it It was the Tex Avery show and yeah, that was

a good show. Oh Yeah, it was it really really

was before we get too far into tax. I do have

to go back and Mention something about last week's

discussion. We talked about Bob Clampett and

the big snooze After we recorded last week's

episode, as I mentioned there and as I've mentioned

several times, Cartoon Network Boomerang airs

Looney Tunes at 12 noon Eastern Time and 2 a

.m. Eastern Time. Just so happens every now and

then I'll hit record on my DVR to hit these because

sometimes More specifically the I know this is

kind of sad to say but more specifically the

the roadrunner Wile E. Coyote cartoons I used

to take naps on I don't know why it just I don't

know Just makes me fall asleep But so I'm I hit

record on this and I walked away and I went and

did other stuff and came back to it later that

night and watched it and Had said to you that

they don't show I don't remember seeing a lot

of clamp it stuff on Cartoon Network They showed

the big snooze But they completely Do not credit

him in the credits on Cartoon Network. I have

no idea why I Mean reading something about that.

I don't know if it was They didn't credit him

initially, or they just take his credit out of

the television version? I think they take his

credit out of the television version because

the version that I saw online that you had sent

that's in the post for last week, that has him

being credited. That's really sad. Yeah, it's

very, very weird. But anyway, Tech Savory. Created

Daffy. more or less created Bugs Bunny, but that

came with a lot of input from the other... Oh,

absolutely. See, I see Bugs as everybody has

their shot. It's kind of like the reverse of

what we have with the James Bond film franchise,

where different actors play James Bond. The way

I look at Bugs Bunny is every director had their

shot with him. Right. So that's how I kind of

look at Bugs and... Let's face it later bugs

bunny when he's you know his more Famous yeah

looking you know style That is kind of everybody

Early bugs what would I think happened with early

bugs is they tried to make him? Like before Daffy

came along they tried to make Daffy. They're

sure to make bugs that wacky Kind of character,

and I don't I think it worked in some aspects

and some of those weird looking like the weird

drawn bugs cartoons are are funny and interesting

but once he got his more classic look and he

got his more classic personality of oh gosh I'm

just so unimportant you know I mean actually

Daffy is older than bugs in fact the first bugs

bunny cartoon was a was a remake of a of a Daffy

Duck cartoon. It was uh, I think it was Porky's

Duck Hunt, and then they changed it to Porky's

Rabbit Hunt. Yeah, and yeah Bugs has different

personalities depending on which director it

was. For Tex, he was just this mischief maker,

this merry mischief maker. I think Clampit made

him more mean, but still enjoying himself with

you know some of the later guys he was much more

calm down but he wasn't really wasn't really

intimidated by anything so that that was kind

of the the cool and collected and also very egotistical

box it's like oh i'm so unimportant as he's basking

in in the glow of adoration yeah um yeah uh i

mean you know It's surprising to me that Avery

only ended up directing only four Bugs Bunny

cartoons. Yeah, I think one of them is even a

band cartoon, because I saw one one screenshot

of it. I'm like, ooh, yeah. They were A Wild

Hare, Tortoise Beats Hare, All This and Rabbit

Stew. That's the one. And The Heckling Hare.

The heckling hair is the one where he walked

out of Warner Brothers because there was there

That's the one where there's the gag at the end

where they fall off the cliff him and the dog

and the dog is clearly a precursor to Meathead

from squirreys from screwy squirrel Yeah, and

they fall off the they fall off the cliff and

it actually it was supposed to be that they fall

off three times Like they keep doing the same

gag over and at the end he says something like

well folks here We go again, you know that that

kind of thing, but it just kind of It has a really

sloppy cut at the end, and I always thought it

was a TV edit. And it turns out that was a Schlesinger

cut, and it was never a good ending. So it was

always like that. Is that the one where he's

on the train tracks, and they just cut it? No,

that's the one where they fall off the cliff,

and then they stop midair. Oh, OK. And then they

pulled it, didn't we? And then it just cuts.

Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. I remember

that now. Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah. You know,

you mentioned Screwy and Meathead, and as soon

as you said Meathead's name, all I can think

of is... All of it? Uh -huh. Screwy is Archie,

and Meathead is Meathead. Rob Reiner. Oh my god.

Dead from the neck up. I love screwy squirrel

cartoons. Those for me are the gems from Tex.

Yeah, those are basically Bugs Bunny cartoons

cranked up to 11. And there's another Rob Reiner

reference for you. Yeah, I mean, it just... This

goes to 11. Yeah, Screwy is... Outside of the

core Looney Tunes characters, I would say Screwy

is my favorite overall classic cartoon character.

Like, in this vein of this time, this Golden

Age MGM Looney Tunes, he's just so awesome. And

very, very violent. In fact, I don't know if

you had this, but when I was a kid, the old MGM

syndication package did not have screwy squirrel

cartoons. No, they didn't. I just finally saw

it on Cartoon Network one day. I'm like, what

the hell is this? I'd never heard of them outside

of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I'm like, who the

hell is screwy squirrel? Oh. friggin um What's

his name Angelo? What's the matter? You got you

got hung up working for screwy squirrel or dinky

doodle or oh god friggin friggin Angelo That's

the first time I'd ever heard screwy squirrel's

name. No, I I knew of screwy I didn't know about

the yeah, you're right the The MGM pack didn't

have him in there, but later I would say early

90s Early to mid 90s. I know by that time by

the time I was 10 or 11 91 92. I had seen The

the screwy cartoons where he messes with meathead.

Yeah Because I always remember laughing as a

kid about the scene where What is that next scene?

What do I do to this guy next and he basically

pulls the page? Like it's a see that cartoon

was basically a redo of the heckling hare because

there's a scene like that in in the bugs bunny

cartoon but he's much more subdued he's just

kind of pacing like what do i do this to this

guy next screwy squirrel actually takes the takes

the script and reads it Yeah, and there there's

parts where he's like doing the foley like like

the dog is tumbling down the hill He's doing

he's doing the drum roll on the snare and they

whipped up the slide whistle Susie whips up the

slide whistle. I lose my shit. I'm like I'm like

this cartoon genius I mean because it goes back

to Well, I Mean imagine what? they used to make

those sound effects back then. Those are basically

the things they used. Yeah, I mean, it's just,

oh my God. And those, that slide whistle sound

effect and the drums and all, that is, that scene

of Meathead tumbling down the hill. is so classic

with the sound effects because that would be

later worked into everything. I mean, you look

at some of the, when Boomerang, when Cartoon

Network first launched Boomerang and they have

that thing for Hanna -Barbera, where it shows

Fred and Barney and everybody else, the sound

effects are similar to what's in The screwy squirrel

one. Yeah, I think everyone basically ripped

off about Tex Avery because you know the The

scenes where they were they're running so fast

that they run off the film reel that that gag

I've seen duplicated a bunch of times In Roger

Rabbit even I mean that whole movie was an homage

to Tex Avery. It's so it's so obvious and And

it was how I love that movie Yeah Uh, that is

such, such a good movie. Um, but yeah, I mean,

Tex himself, he, he was a really, he, like you

said earlier, he really went for the funny. Yeah.

And he, he got to go to timing. I mean, the guy's

comedic timing was unmatched. Not even, not even

clamp it. And Tex Avery knew how to do a joke.

He knew the timing of a joke. You know how how

long you should wait between jokes To make the

audience laugh again. I mean the guy was just

he was a joke ologist Yes, he was Um, he really

really was um Oh man did they remake jerky turkey

jerky turkey, um, I don't know Because I remember

that with daffy There was a turkey cartoon with

Daffy Where he's like no hide here no hide here,

and then they switch the roles I don't remember

who I'm sure in our travels here in the animation

direction spotlight will will will be looking

into that eventually but So he goes to MGM Before

that, he goes, he did, while at Schlesinger,

Avery created a concept of animating lip movements

to live action footage of animals. Schlesinger

was not interested in Avery's ideas, so Avery

approached Jerry Fairbanks, a friend of his who

produced the unusual Occupations series of short

subjects for Paramount Pictures. Fairbanks liked

the idea and the Speaking of Animals series shorts

was launched and then after that he went to MGM

and MGM is gonna be his most famous era. Oh,

yeah, definitely See basically did every cartoon

that wasn't that wasn't Tom and Jerry Yeah, except

for I think Barney Bear. I think Barney Bear

was someone else The most notable ones from Avery

at MGM were Bad Luck Blackie, Cellbound, Magical

Maestro, Lucky Duckie, Ventriloquist Cat, and

King -Size Canary. Oh god, I love all of those.

I mean, like you said, he's a geologist. The

man knew how to make us laugh. and I'm sure if

we go back and we find all these like I really

wish I'm gonna have to look it up and see I really

wish there was an entire I think there is I thought

there was like an entire text Avery DVD set so

I'm not sure if there actually is actually look

it up here and see The Tex Avery show does not

have DVDs from 97. We have volumes 1 through

3 of The Wacky World of Tex Avery. Tex Rides

Again, Power Pooch the Rescue, and Pompey Pete

in the 22nd Century. These were all released

about 14 years ago. No. No. More like... 10 or

11 years ago. So there's a fourth episode collection

that released last year from Mill Creek called

Volume One. It has 40 episodes on it. Each episode

stars a variety of wild original characters including

The Bumbling Roman Centurion, Pompey P to the

inept conqueror and little princess he cannot

conquer, Genghis and Connie, the lamest superhero

on four legs, Power Pooch. I don't think this

is his MGM stuff. This has to be some of the

other stuff that he did. But I really wish that

they would like... They would put out an MGM

collection for for text that would be so amazing

Yeah, it really needs to be set apart from the

Tom and Jerry stuff for sure Yeah, it's like

it's it's almost like a different studio, right?

Yeah I mean Tom and Jerry and even though like

the old MGM syndication package put them together

It was like the Tom and Jerry stuff and the text

Avery stuff were so Totally different from each

other. It was it was just weird Absolutely, yeah

and Should we bring up some of his like more

notable characters like aside for sure aside

from droopy and and like the ones there you know,

everyone knows droopy but like, you know, there's

red hot riding hood and the wool and Oh God,

I love those red outriding books when I discovered,

it was basically my confirmation of heterosexuality.

I'm like, oh yeah. And that wolf, I'm pretty

sure that wolf is the same wolf that eventually

evolved into that kind of prototype of a huckleberry

hound where he's kind of got the draw. He's like,

ah, Billy boy, boy, boy, you know that character.

It's I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the

same wolf, but yeah that character evolved over

time of course we mentioned screwy squirrel and

and meathead, but there was also What's what's

that character's name that it would they did

he did a of mice and men parody that was George

and jr. That's what oh yeah, George and jr. I

love George and jr. Some of the best cartoons

And then there was a he did this kind of really

ratty looking cat character It was in the ventriloquist

cat and the cuckoo clock and the cat that hated

people I love that character and there was some

other cartoon I don't remember the name or he

he wants to get out of the canary But so he rips

off the top of the head of this other dog and

he puts it on top of his head And then there's

just a bunch of gags during a whole cartoon about

that That that cat I don't know the name of that

cat's name, but That sounded weird. I don't know

that cat's name, but God I love that character

Yeah, I mean the the red riding hood and wolf

stuff is always amazing from text. That was always

so hilarious You know and and that's you know,

that's where Jim Carrey got the you know, it's

where the mask got the that the impression from

this from tax so i mean uh... text avery's legacy

and everyone another connection to frame roger

abit i mean jessica rabbit was clearly uh...

i'll take on red red hot red yeah she was a little

bit more voluptuous than red but uh... but i

think i think wrong with that i think red hot

ready good shook it a little more yes she did

she did uh... But yeah, I mean, you know, I love

all those old wolf cartoons I I particularly

like the the droopy cartoons that he did when

it was droopy and his son I Love I love those

Because it's basically like two people getting

the one up on the wolf I Think it what was it

sheriff droopy? Yeah There's a couple of them,

yeah. Absolutely love those. I hate to say this,

I don't think Tex did it, but where I really

remember... Oh, wow. Wait, did Droopy have a

son in the olden days? I don't think so, I was

kind of thinking about that. I think what you're

thinking of is the Tom and Jerry kids. I know.

I'm sorry, folks. But on that note, did you know

that there was a ladder day screwy squirrel cartoon?

Was there really? Yep. It made in the 90s. I

never knew about this. But I saw it today and

it's awful. Is it really? It should not exist.

It's of that mid -90s Hanna -Barbera style. Oh,

no. The style that should not be. This should

not be taking a Tex Avery cartoon to try to animate

them It's it's painful I'm glad you didn't send

that to me. No, but I did send you quickie Yeah,

you did thankfully it's only a clip yeah, I mean

Apparently he did writing for the show, but he

didn't really do that much He did more for Walter

Lance Yeah, he did came back and did two two

of the greatest cartoons. I think they ever showed

up at Walter Lance Studios he did four but there's

only two that I thought were noteworthy and that

was a crazy mixed -up pup, which is the one where

The guy and his dog get run over and the guy

and this like cross -eyed guy gets out of the

ambulance He's like plasma dog plasma I need

to get some mixed up and for the rest of the

cartoon the dog acts like a human and the human

acts like a dog It's hilarious. And the other

one is the legend of Rockabye Point, which is

the one that kind of defined what Chilly Willie

would be. And you watch it and it's you could

tell right away it's Takedavery. Just gag after

gag. Yeah. Rapid fire. You said rapid fire. That's

not what I thought you said. That's a completely

other director that we'll talk about last in

this series. I thought you said rabbit fire.

I'm like, no, no. And I know when we get to that,

we're both going to be saying, I don't know who's

going to play which side, but oh god, it's all

about the seasons, ladies and gentlemen. Let's

see here Yeah, I wish that screwy squirrel was

that clip was longer cuz that that entire episode

is Is like I said amazing. I'm sure it could

be found online But like, you know the video

sites where that stuff shows up on they're kind

of dubious I'll say so I can't send these links

Wow, I'm trying to search iTunes for screwy squirrel

and nothing comes up Again they need to release

tech savory collections from from termite terrorists

from MGM All the stuff that he's done. I think

it's a crime that they haven't already honestly

Release that stuff Sadly Two days before Spada

was born Tex Avery passed away August 26 1980

Wow He died of liver cancer He was 72 So he didn't

get to see Like he didn't get to see any well

the first eight months of the 80s. I'm sure at

this point he was you know on his way out but

um i mean it it's kind of a shame like i would

love to know what half of these these people

that started the golden age of animation i would

love to know what they think of animation these

days yeah yeah it's it's too bad because he he

never really got to see what would come because

uh you know throughout the 80s people just kind

of forgot who these guys were and it wasn't until

like cartoon never came along that suddenly you

know, we were reawakened to Tex Avery and Bob

Clamp and Chuck Jones. Especially as far as what

the MGM syndication package used to be because

they used to clip the opening and closings right

off the cartoon so you didn't even see who made

them. And that drove me nuts. I'm like, why would

you do that? Yeah, that's a real shame. I mean,

I suppose commercials, but still, god damn it.

Mean even Yeah, I mean At least half the Looney

Tunes cartoons that I watch I'm boomerang now

all have you know the the beat you know they

well they all they have They have the Warner

Brothers logo. They have you know if it's a bugs

cartoon. They have you know bugs what whether

he's Laying on his name or Whatever and they

have him pull down the title card and then they

go I mean They always have the credit the only

time as I mentioned earlier in this episode the

only time I've ever seen someone not be credited

is is Bob with big snooze, but Text Avery like

we've said master Just an absolute master. Yeah,

it must have been a blast to work for this guy

Oh, yeah, and we didn't even I'm sure there are

like tons of cartoons We haven't even mentioned

that his body of work is just so large and I'm

like it is like I don't even have time to watch

all these I know it's like I picked out the ones

that are my favorites I looked at the one that

you told me that you suggested to look at and

but yeah, I mean his His body of work He has

according to IMDB as a animation director is

a hundred and forty six credits We'd be here

for two and a half three hours talking about

all of these So I would love to be able to look

at The tech savory king of cartoons TV movie

documentary that came out in 98 1988 That would

be kind of cool to see You know droopy double

trouble magic maestro one cabs family rockabye

bear Three little pups crazy mixed -up pup Drag

along droopy. I mean the guy was a legend and

he really really is This is absolutely You know

cats meow, let's see what was that one I just

saw Ain't so much I mean You know, you look at

it and... I mean, he start... His very first

one, even though he's uncredited... The very

first one is the Gingerbread Boy, which is a

cartoon short. The very first one he's credited,

the first... Well, the first about... Trying

to think is it are they all like that? from 1935

yeah 1935 through 1935 to 1941 he is either uncredited

or Credited as Fred Avery. Yeah, and that was

a Schlesinger thing Schlesinger. Yeah, like we

said last time He liked proper names. Aviation

Vacation from 1941, oh my god. He did some weird

ones like that just made me think of the one

where it's like the jet plane who has a son and

then there was also one that was like a taxi

cab with a son. Those were probably his weakest

cartoons and even those were funny. The guy,

once he hit his stride, he did not make a bad

cartoon. Ever. Absolutely. I think we're going

to take a quick break, come back with final thoughts,

and close out the show after this. Good evening,

kiddies. Once upon a time, Little Red Riding

Hood was skipping through the woods. She was

going to her grandmother's house to take Grandma

a basket of nice goodies. But waiting in the

woods was a mean old wolf ready to pounce upon.

Poor little Red Riding Hood. Oh, stop it! I'm

fed up with that sissy stuff. It's the same old

story over and over. If you can't do this thing

a new way, bud... Daddy Should I say? and you

say... I love to sing, I love to wake up with

the salsa in my mouth, and wave a flag with a

cheer for Uncle... With a cheer for Jackie Bunny

and another for my mommy. Be love to sing. Hello?

You don't say. You don't say. You don't say.

Who was it? He didn't say. Alright folks, we

are back. And surprisingly, there's no, like...

There's no controversy with him. I mean... There's

a little bit of like but compared to last week

You know, I mean Avery was sure he had his opinions

and they didn't really Mesh with Leon so he left

After a while and you know, I mean arguably,

you know his Warner Brothers stuff is all very

well done But when he When he went to MGM, that's

where he found his full success. He became the

master of the wildtake. Absolutely. I'm trying

so hard in these episodes not to make tiny tunes

at references because the first thing I think

of is when you say that we've got wildtakes exploding

cakes from a loony beginning. I love that episode.

Anyway. You know from wags to riches My favorite

Tax Avery cartoons that are non -character crummy

there's characters in these but the fit my favorite

ones that really don't have a specific character

Is the tomorrow series? Yeah the house of tomorrow?

house car TV farm and those I was going to say

the one thing we learned from those cartoons

is that I don't think Tex Avery liked his mother

-in -law. So many mother -in -law jokes. I know.

And what makes those cartoons so great is the

narrator. I know that's not Mel. I know that's

not, because Mel wasn't working for MGM at the

time. No, I'm pretty sure he had an exclusive

contract with That's why he stopped doing Woody

Woodpecker. There was an exclusivity deal. We'll

get to that later, I think. Oh, much later. That's

the other thing. I know this is the animation

direction spotlight, but do we want to do a spotlight

on Mel himself? We could do that. It probably

would be last after Chuck. Yeah kind of a bonus

round You know what we should probably stick

him together with like With Dawes Butler and

maybe even Paul freeze because the three of those

guys are just like Equally the masters of a thousand

voices. Oh Absolutely and let's not forget scooby

himself. Yeah And I'm not talking about Frank

Welker people. No, no. As much as I like Frank

Welker as Scooby now, because, you know, obviously

Mr. Misk is no longer with us. But yeah. Yeah,

but in these old theatrical cartoons, if it's

not Mel Blank, it's usually Dawes Butler. Literally

one or the other. Yeah. I think I saw the...

I'm trying to think I think I saw the I'm trying

to think if I saw the The name of the The narrator

on the house of tomorrow, I'm honestly Not sure

if I remember seeing it And I don't think it

was Dawes actually Really don't Dawes has a pretty

soft voice probably was not him Yeah, I mean

I mean this guy I I would know once I mean I

wouldn't know his name, but I mean I know the

voice that that I'm talking about here and Actually,

what year was house of tomorrow? It was it was

49. Oh my god Voices were Frank Graham. He was

probably a narrator. Yeah Tex Avery did voices

and Don Messick, who was rarely in the old theatrical

cartoons. Yeah. Frank Graham was the main voice.

Yeah, Don Messick was the pressure cooker one.

But yeah, Frank Graham was the voice that I most

remember. You want to talk about... Yeah, I mean,

that narrator voice was absolutely amazing. So

I think, unless you have anything else, I think

that's gonna do it for us this week. That's pretty

much everything. I mean, we couldn't possibly

do a complete episode on TechSaver. There's just

too much. Way too much. Just go to his Wikipedia

or IMD page, IMDB, and just... Go down the list

and try to find every one of those cartoons,

because they're all amazing. Absolutely. And

the list will be in the post. Next time around,

what do we have? Oh, we have Mr. Yosemite Sam
