Editorial Reviews:

Droopy, a detective basset hound, lulls the bad guys into a false sense of security by acting slow and dumb when in actual fact he is a genius. The shrewd Droopy always outwits his enemies! Droopy Dog was a low-key animated movie character created by Tex Avery at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1943, this mournful deadpan witty Basset hound detective who spoke in a jowly monotone voice and, though he didn't look like much, was shrewd enough to outwit his enemies - the conniving Butch the Irish bulldog and the thieving, nasty wolf and English Fox.

DVD Features:
Documentaries:"Droopy and Friends: A Laugh Back" Â - a documentary retrospective featuring the highlights of Tex Averys iconic character and band of regular misfits, which made the collection so memorable and dear to our hearts. Â Peppered through the featurette will be moments reflecting on Texs early days, from inspiration, to his passions as an artist, entertainer and eventual auteur.
Gag Reel:'Doggone Gags" - a montage of great moments from the Droopy series, culled together in the fashion of a gag reel.

Summary: It will never get better than this
Comment: Nit-pickign aside (I read the reviews) I found this collection of Droopy cartoons superb. 10 out of 10. To notice the difference between one method of restoration and another is a time waster. Dixieland Droopy is clever, cute and worthy of awards. Butch as a waiter being tormented by Droopy twins is hilarious. Tex Avery made adult cartoons, so they were never made for children in the first place. That said, they are not edited -- God bless them. But honestly, will four-year-olds understand the humor of a dog who gets black faced when a rifle backfires? Come'on. These are hilarious and children will love them. And iif they are old enough to question whether or not the sterotypes are inappropriate by today's standards... answer them honestly. It's like watching Roots and not answering their questions.

Don't let my personal feelings get involved. Those particulars make up 1/100th of the content on the discs. The picture quality is superb and worthy of my bookshelf.

Summary: Wait...Droopy's a dog?
Comment: At the beginning of both DVDs, there is a disclaimer addressing the issues of sexism and racism in the cartoons. I am an African-American who watched Droopy during my childhood in the late 70s and early 80s and was taught that this kind of creativity was the way things were back in the days when they were made. The cartoon can serve as a medium for teaching today's youth how some things in the USA have changed and some have not, both for the good and the bad. Today, it is definitely a different kind of USA.

Was I offended by what I saw? YES!
Do I recognize that people who are different from me would be offended by what they'd see? YES!
Was I entertained? I would be lying if I didn't say, "often times, YES!"
