Tex Rides Again the Wacky World
On the footing of this, DIC should correspond Degrading, Insulting and Contemptible.
Tex Avery was one of the truthful greats of animation; his last piece of work may have been for "The Kwicky Koala Bear witness," but at to the lowest degree he was involved with information technology. "The Wacky World of Tex Avery" only used his proper noun, and it tried to adopt his manner of animation... but they forgot one footling thing.
They forgot to make it funny.
The various components were hyperactive, but they weren't exactly amusing; and information technology wasn't like information technology was particularly well done animation-wise either. Even the theme music wasn't original. People wanting decent cartoons from France are better off with "Insektors"; for the true wacky world of Tex Avery, meet the real cartoons he did and avoid this insult.
Incidentally, DIC is brusque for Diffusion, Information, Communication. All of which imply intelligence, which is in even shorter supply hither than in most of the shows from that visitor.

Excruciating!
Unwatchable drek.
Creator of such classic characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Screwy Squirrel, and Droopy, Tex Avery was 1 of the all-time, and funniest animators of the gilded historic period. These decidedly unfunny, juvenile cartoons are marketed equally an homage to Avery'south genius, just they are niggling more than than badly-drawn, badly-animated, desperately-written and badly-directed insults to his legacy.
Avery apparently left no descendants to protect his name and legacy after his death, allowing them to fall into the public domain and ultimately go appropriated past DIC Entertainment.
If y'all ever find yourself near Wood lawn Cemetery and hear a rumbling racket, that may exist one-time Tex, rolling in his grave.

Insult
I don't desire to just hate on anything or anyone, but this serial is an insult to your intelligence and to Tex Avery. For Les Studios Tex to glom onto his name and so produce the waste of frames that they have is reprehensible. Information technology'due south almost criminal. I've seen their products reviewed on other websites, and when I happened across some episodes on Idiot box and watched for myself I couldn't have agreed more with the detractors. It isn't even so much most using Tex Avery's proper noun or the blatant ripping off of his style (and poorly washed at that), information technology's that this piece of work isn't funny, it isn't well written, it'southward not even particularly animated with any originality or innovation. It appears to be a very elaborate, all-encompassing attempt to brand some money off of anyone who can't, or doesn't care to, distinguish between the classic Tex Avery cartoons and stake, pale imitations. I would request that the graphic for this page be inverse for two reasons: 1) That's the encompass to an MGM cassette of authentic Tex Avery cartoons, thus misleading and confusing as to the subject field of this page, and ii) Information technology'southward an insult and injustice to Tex Avery himself and the studio of brilliant talent who worked nether him.

Oh dearest, no..
I had the misfortune to be involved with the broadcast of this serial on a United kingdom Television Channel a few years back. Every infinitesimal spent in front of it was painful.
Given the originality & sheer inventiveness that Tex Avery brought to his creations I'm not quite sure how the producers of this 'homage' were able to alive with themselves. Poor animation, hackneyed (and distinctly unfunny) jokes, coarseness in place of genuine humour - all these things added together made this probably one of the very worst blitheness series I've always had anything to practice with. And THAT is saying something, believe ME..
Using Tex Avery's name in conjunction with this rubbish would no doubt have had him spinning in his grave.

It ain't wacky and it sure ain't funny.
Ahhh, Tex Avery. A wonderful animation fable that gave u.s.a. then many memorable characters such as Bugs Bunny, Screwy Squirrel and of course Droopy and that wolf. He perfected the art of squash and stretch animation and his toons are loved by millions of fans everywhere.
Which was an absolute crying shame when those hacks at DIC (now DHX Media) decided they would rather pee all over his legacy and blatantly use his name and his style of animation for quite possibly the most insulting piece of TV animation ever made.
And they succeeded.
Instead of the wacky humor and delightful mayhem the existent Tex Avery gave yous, what DIC instead does is shove some appallingly bad plots, quite bluntly unoriginal characters, animation that is so tasteless you'll feel ill subsequently watching and the and so called "comedy" in your confront... hard.
You'll also get a decent cast including Billy West, Cree Summer, Maurice LaMarche, Ian James Corlett and Lee Tockar. They honestly try... they really do but in the end you'll be in tears thinking how these talented phonation actors stumbled their manner into this mess.
For extra plain drawing goodness, buy that Droopy DVD set or something. For a massive insult to an animation legend, wait no further than The Wacky Earth Of Tex Avery.
DIC will thank you for it.... and poor quondam Tex himself volition be rolling in his grave.

Of course this cartoon is wacky ...
In all honesty, I don't get all of the bad reviews that say this show isn't "Wacky". Because what else is it supposed to be? It'due south wacky, totally crazy, leaps and premises in storytelling and just a twenty-minute craziness that you first have to design. The fact that Tex Avery was chosen as the namesake seems angry to some hither, but it's just a homage. Tex Avery was wacky in its day and cornball gold in today, while this cartoon Wacky is 90s and early 2000s style and of grade cartoonish too. All in all, you can say that y'all can definitely have brisk fun here, which gives a really insane insight into the insane possibilities of the world of sense of humour.

The Wacky World of Tex Avery is a very fun and cool animated series
The Wacky Earth of Tex Avery are a wonderful blithe serial.
Music (main ) theme from an animated series are very best.
Drawing and plot are SUPER, I peculiarly liked the adventures of Tex Avery, Chastity Knott, Sagebrush Sid, and Einstone, likewise equally Pompeii Pete, in my opinion, they are very funny and the best segments of the serial.
Freddy the Fly, Maurice & Mooch, Genghis and Khannie and Power Pooch are more than intended for children, but they are likewise very funny.
I first saw this Wacky World when I was three-4 years erstwhile, but even now I sometimes watch this blithe serial with pleasure.
Information technology is a compassion that the series is no longer released.

Why It's Not Wacky.
How to insult an animation legend's legacy in i show...
Despite the series being supposed to pay homage to Tex Avery and his cartoon creations, it is zippo more than than an insult rather than a homage to Tex Avery's piece of work, due to its various issues as listed below. Poor grasp of the source material: The show has nothing to practise with Tex Avery and, for legal reasons, none of his trademark characters like Bugs Bunny and Droopy Dog are included in this show. There'due south a character who'southward a cowboy named afterwards Avery, and that's pretty much information technology. The title sequence shows the characters repetitively stomping and bouncing on the ground in an extremely hyperactive manner and flipping their lips in melody to the theme vocal while showing saliva, which is disgusting. This show uses way too many stock sound effects and even uses them at inappropriate times. Baton West and Scott McNeil exercise poor jobs voicing the titular character and Amanda. Notably, McNeil sounds very annoying and unconvincing as a woman. Most of the character designs are very unappealing and lackluster to look at, especially Tex himself, who has a very creepy smile on his confront. In that location are plenty of racial and annoying stereotypes:Pompeii Pete (while a likable grapheme/decent segment) is an Italian stereotype. Maurice is a Swedish stereotype. Einstone is a German stereotype based manifestly on Albert Einstein. Tex Avery (the main graphic symbol) is only a platitude stereotypical Wild Due west character. Other offensive stereotypes on this bear witness include Asians, Mexicans, British, Samoans, Jews, and even Native Americans as well. The blitheness is sub-par and rather cheap-looking, with some unfinished backgrounds and frames missing. There are numerous blitheness errors. For example, in the opening, the meridian of Pompeii Pete'southward helmet disappears. Some of the animation doesn't sync up with the backgrounds properly. The jokes and humor are both very poor and terrible, every bit they mostly consist of fart jokes, toilet humor, and gross-out sense of humor. Nearly of the jokes besides fall flat or feel awkward due to the potent and wonky animation. The archetype Avery gags are in the bear witness, but they're butchered beyond all conventionalities. In 1 scene, Tex and Sid endeavor to pull off the gag of pulling out bigger and more absurd weapons, but the fashion it'southward telegraphed ruins the pacing when they basically announce what they're going use next. A lot of content is too weird, disturbing, and inappropriate for a kids' show; here are but a few examples. In the offset Pompeii Pete segment "The Dis-orderly", Dan the Man fakes a cut and squeezes a ketchup canteen to simulate that he'south bleeding, and made it worse by squeezing it very hard all over the other patients. In the same segment, Pompeii himself slices a pizza using a buzzsaw, just the gag was a setup as if he was slicing Dan the Homo instead. In the first Maurice and Mooch segment "Breakfast in Bedlam", Maurice cracks an egg open up, which isn't one-half bad. But the previous scene implied he pulled it from his female parent. Faux Advertising: The intro sequence and promo images show Tex riding a horse, but he rides a caprine animal in the prove itself instead. This show was obviously made to cash-in on the tendency of Golden Historic period-style shows such equally Animaniacs and The Ren & Stimpy Show, which had piffling to no involvement with Tex Avery or his cartoons, equally it was more of a homage to him. A lot of the characters are unfunny, unlikable, and obnoxious. The worst offenders are Amanda Banshee, who is very lazy and short-tempered, and Freddy the Fly, who was always calumniating to Amanda. The soundtrack is obnoxious and insufferable, especially the theme song. The theme song is incredibly annoying, obnoxious, and lazy. Information technology even disrespects Jacques Offenbach, as it basically consists of the chorus of his song from Orpheus In The Underworld Can-Can (a.chiliad.a. "Infernal Galop") with the line "Welcome to the Wacky World Of Tex Avery" beingness repeated over and over again in tune to the music as its lyrics of the theme. There'due south also barely (if ever) any background music playing in about of the episodes, hence declining to raise the intended wacky-nutty tone and mood of the show, and instead rendering the cartoons' atmospheres to be very bland and dull. A lot of the characters and segments are pretty unoriginal and ripped off other already existing cartoons or TV shows. Tex Avery is a ripoff of Cerise Hot Ryder from the 1944 Looney Tunes cartoon "Buckaroo Bugs" (which was, ironically enough, directed by Bob Clampett) and copies a lot from Bugs Bunny. Sagebrush Sid is a lazy clone of the wolf from Tex Avery's Droopy cartoons and normally serves as a stand-in for Yosemite Sam. (from Looney Tunes)Miss Chasity Knott'south design is almost plagiarized from Ruddy'due south design, as well from the Droopy cartoons, with the only difference being that she has black pilus. Genghis and Pompeii's designs wait far too similar to Stimpy from The Ren & Stimpy Show. Pompeii himself looks like the Indian from one of the Screwy Squirrel shorts ("Large Man Watha") and is rumored to be based on Shorty from the original Popeye the Sailor shorts. Dan's design has a strong resemblance to Dick Dastardly'southward blueprint from Wacky Races. The Einstone segments (or more importantly, the name) are an obvious ripoff of The Flintstones. The face of Einstone himself was likely based on Footling Miss Muffet from the 1940 Looney Tunes cartoon "A Gander at Mother Goose". Genghis and Khannie are both plagiarized copycats (no pun intended) of Tom and Jerry. Khannie is a ripoff of Andy Panda and is a stand up-in (even sharing the same vocalisation extra every bit) Elmyra Duff from Tiny Toon Adventures. Amanda Banshee looks like a stolen character drawn by Don Martin from the MAD magazine. Freddy the Wing is likely a poor man'due south version of the gremlin from "Falling Hare". (Besides from Looney Tunes)Maurice's design is a ripoff of both Tweety's (again, from Looney Tunes) and Baby Huey'southward designs. Mooch is basically a copy off of Sylvester the Cat. (yet again, from Looney Tunes)Maurice'south father bears a few similarities to Foghorn Leghorn (yet another grapheme from Looney Tunes)Pompeii Pete is but what happens when they bring Shorty from the Famous Studios era of Popeye the Sailor, only speaking terribly in Italian. Power Pooch is an obvious ripoff of Underdog and Superman (blueprint-wise), and Earthworm Jim (personality-wise, with none of the strong humor). Piffling Buddy can likewise be seen as a potential clone of Spot from Hong Kong Phooey and Peter Puppy from Earthworm Jim. Ton of spelling errors and typos on the background objects:In the Tex Avery segment "Bottleneck Bear", "Grizzly Bear" is misspelled as "Gbizzly" in ane of the signs on a mountain. This happens twice in the Freddy the Fly segment "Flychiatry"; "Judgement Twenty-four hour period" is misspelled as "Judement Day", and "November" is misspelled every bit "Novenber". (Both on the psychiatrist'southward agenda)Another Freddy the Wing segment, "Tallywho?", has a sentence with a misspelling: "Our guns are loaded and so are we" is misspelled as "Ours guns are loaded and so are we" on a sign. In the Genghis and Khannie segment "The Wrath of Khannie", The sign on Uranus is misspelled as "Upanus", but merely once. Well-nigh of the animals (specially on the Einstone segments) are unremarkably poorly drawn and somehow have huge proboscis human-similar noses, especially with the dinosaurs and saber-toothed cats. A few of the plots are fifty-fifty copied from other shows: a glaring instance of this would be the Maurice and Mooch segment "Carnivores Anonymous", where Mooch attends a club to give up his addiction of craven, being a re-create of the Looney Tunes brusk "Birds Anonymous" (even sharing a much like name).
