Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good mix of coments and images.
The material included is very good and a very descriptive selection
Of course I'm a very enthusiastic of animation and Avery in my opinion, change the animation films in a way that gave all it capacities for comedy expresion.
It is not posible to get the same action expresion with real characters.
So this is the tool to get a new resource for animated characters, attitudes, postures.
Just we must consider that ingenuous erlier animated films.
And the new very important ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - We are all mad here
To view individual cels from a Tex Avery cartoon is like a brief stop into an insane asylum.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The book Tex Avery fans have been waiting for
For us long-time fans of legendary cartoon director Tex Avery, we enjoyed the earlier Joe Adamson tribute, but were disappointed at the poor quality black and white photos included in it. Now at last the famous Avery shorts get the treatment they deserve, in this full-color, oversized coffee table edition straight from their proprietor Turner/MGM. Loads of famous scenes, model sheets and background designs are reproduced here, capturing the vivid color and style that we remember these cartoons for. Canemaker ... Read More
