Couple of inaccuracies: 1. Elmer fudd was never Egghead. The character who appears in "Little Red Walking Hood" was a different character who was always named Elmer Fudd. 2. Tex Avery took his sabbatical in 1950 and returned in 1951. 3. Tex didn't leave MGM, he was fired. His unit was shut down in March of 1953 and he was given 3 months notice.
Actually Egghead and Elmer are seperate characters, that have many similarities in voice and mannerisms. In fact the model sheets refer Elmer as Egghead's brother. It wasn't until Elmer's Candid Camera that he got his milksop speech impediment that Arthur Q Bryan supplied (he used it for the title character of the short Dangerous Dan McFoo).
wait, i didnt know we shared the same birthday! Tex has always been one of my idols when it comes to cartoons and animation. Also, i was born a little under 100 years after him since i was born in 2007 and his was 1908! :D
If I recall it was Mel Blanc who came up with Bugs' catchphrase, according to the original script the intended catchphrase for Bugs was "What's cooking" but Mel was known for his creative improvisations on the characters he voiced and he followed scripts loosely so he tweaked the line into the iconic "What's up doc" and everyone agreed to keep it. Though I suppose Tex can be partially credited for it too. Nice documentary, it's sad that Tex burned out and lost his passion but he left an immense legacy.
7:26 Personally, even though Daffy did change Warner Bros from being just that Disney clone, they still wasn't getting better with their humor until the creation of A Wild Hare (the first cartoon to feature Bugs Bunny).
thank you for making this very informative video about one of the greatest animators of all time, i learned a lot and have a greater appreciation for his work.
Who can deny the amazing talent and over the top hilarity provided by Tex Avery? He was so Looney he was more Looney than Looney tunes could handle! His legacy lives on in his awesome work and those who appreciate it always seem to capture that magic in their works; whether it be Jessica Rabbit or even The Masks frequent outtakes❤
Elmer Fudd debut in "Little Red Walking Hood" (1937) as Elmer and as a separate character from Egghead, a similar character from "Egghead Rides Again" and "Daffy Duch and Egghead".
I never knew I had Tex to thank for Daffy Duck. He is by far the best Looney Toons character. Also, Bugs and Elmer? He's the G.O.A.T! THE G.O.A.T.!!!!!
No, Walt Disney made Oswald. Then universal fired Disney and Kept the rights to the character. A higher up at universal made a bet with Walter Lantz in a poker game and whoever won got the rights to the rabbit. Lantz won.
As a person of color, I remember as a kid watching some of those racist cartoons broadcast. It wasn’t a good feeling. That’s the negative. The positive? Those other Avery cartoons formed the basis of my entire humor.
Even though I love some Disney animated characters, my heart always leans more toward guys like Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, etc.
Same here. Disney was an artist. These men were comedians.
You’re 100% right about what’s better!

Was he fired due to budget cuts, creative differences or something else? Those two seem the most plausible
@@wakiloon budget cuts
Little Red Walking Hood's Elmer Fudd also appears in "Elmer's Candid Camera" (1939 released in 1940) and in "A Wild Hare." (1939, released in 1940).
Tex Avery's influence is felt today. When I watch family guy I see Tex Avery. Long live the king of cartoons.
He’s a legend

I always thought Egghead was Elmer's former college buddy.
Arthur Q. Bryan actually made his living as a RADIO ACTOR! He did that same “Elmer Fudd” voice all over Network Radio!
Tex Avery and Bob Clampett made the best and most wacky cartoons back then, especially for Warner.
Nice job on the history of Tex Avery
Thanks
His style of humor never fail to make me laugh.
Thanks for using the opening you chose for this video. IT KILLS!!!!!
Hello all, I had to rush a bit near the end to meet the deadline. Going foward I’ll have better scripts and editing.
Tex Avery's genius and importance to the field of animation can be summed up in, "In a Cartoon, you can do anything"
wait, i didnt know we shared the same birthday! Tex has always been one of my idols when it comes to cartoons and animation. Also, i was born a little under 100 years after him since i was born in 2007 and his was 1908! :D
Wow that’s awesome

Walt Disney was the one who made Oswald and Lantz stole hin

Not to mention Walt Disney gave Walter Lantz his blessing to make films with Oswald, since he was happy with Mickey.
