Tex Avery

Tex Avery

Frederick Bean Avery was born in 26/02/1908 and died on 26/08/1980. On 1930, Tex Avery was an american animator and voicer/director of his animated films. He did his most significant work for the Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, creating the characters of Bugs Bunny,Daffy Duck, Droopy, Screwy Squirrel, and developing Porky Pig, Chilly Willy, he produced the famous animated cartoon during the Golden Age of Hollywood Animation.

Avery's influence can be seen in almost all of the animated cartoon series by various studios in the 1940s and 1950s.

The house style made the cartoons that appealed equally to adults, who appreciated Avery's speed, sarcasm, and irony, and to kids, who liked the nonstop action. Disney's creatures, under Avery's guidance, were transformed into unflappable wits like Bugs Bunny, endearing buffoons like Porky Pig, or dazzling crazies like Daffy Duck. Even the classic fairy tale, a market that Disney had cornered, was appropriated by Avery, who made innocent heroines like Red Riding Hood into sexy jazz babies, more than a match for any Wolf. Avery also endeared himself to intellectuals by constantly breaking through the artifice of the cartoon, having characters leap out of the end credits, loudly object to the plot of the cartoon they were starring in, or speak directly to the audience.
