Tex Avery: King of Cartoons
Product Code: 70178
Fifty years later, still an essential book for fans of animation director Avery (Warner Bros., MGM, Universal, Walter Lantz) and arguably still the best overall English-language monograph on Avery.
Based on extensive research and firsthand interviews. Includes transcripts of long interviews with Tex Avery and Mike Maltese. Out of print.
As the creator of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and the director of many of the Looney Tunes cartoons, Tex Avery has had an enormous influence of American animation and comedy. Joe Adamson guides the reader around Avery's flipped-out universe - surreal, violent and erotic. Through interviews with Avery's gagmen and script writers, together with sensitive analyses of such classics as Kingsize Canary and Red Hot Riding Hood, and with dozens of original sketches and a filmography, the book provides a comprehensive study of an important pioneer of animation.
