Tex Avery Screwball Classics: Volume 2

Volume 2 of the Tex Avery MGM shorts on blu ray are sharp and clean and still funny no matter how many times you watch them. I have heard reports that some remain censored due to insensitive racial issues of the 40's and 50's, but I looked at the cut cartoons on the DVD format first and can confirm that the blu ray has restored certain previous cuts with a warning at the start of the disc.Volume 2 has no Screwy Squirrel or George and Junior, but Droopy is still there in one of my favourites, DRAGALONG DROOPY. Tex at his best. Another top cartoon is THE CUCKOO CLOCK, with its wonderful Edgar Allen Poe beginning. The nameless cat who stars here, is in three other cartoons:- COUNTERFEIT CAT, VENTRILOQUIST CAT, and the nicely surreal THE CAT THAT HATED PEOPLE. Spot gags feature in the four "Cartoons of Tomorrow" that focus on a house, cars, TVs, and a farm (the weakest one). The bonus is a Tex Avery documentary, which is vital if you are not too familiar with all of this great animator's work. There are still 25 cartoons left for a third blu ray release, and it would be fantastic if they included them all, without leaving out the ones missing on previous sets, like UNCLE TOM'S CABANA, and HALF-PINT PIGMY.

I remember these as a kid.This collection is a must have for all Tex Avery fans.Clean remastered frames in superb Blu-ray quality.Un-cut gags.Hope there will be more volume's coming.
