as a person, disney was atotal prick, watch the documentary. tex, jones, frieling, and tashlin were great guys, and true cartoonists. others made animation, they made cartoons. Pc was not a concern, and if it was, they probably woudn't have changed a dang thing.

Fred "Tex" Avery is certainly one of the best ever and is at least partially responsible for helping create Bugs Bunny. One of his best is no longer seen anywhere due to the PC Police called "All This and Rabbit Stew" where Bugs literally goes to pieces when confronted by the hunter. I just his over the top style of cartoons.

the hyper realism effects that he (Tex) used are priceless, and just downright funny

Exactly, modern animation in general all roots to Tex Avery. So in the end Disney's attempts to make cartoons realistic really did nothing since now they can do so with CGI. Tex Avery's humor is timeless.

Bart totally had a Tex Avery dream in the 'Nightmare On Evergreen Taerrace' segment of one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes (mixed in with a bit of Art Clokey- "I dunno Daaavey.")

I'm sorry, but that squirrel is adorable. He is adorable to the point of being ridiculous but still adorable. It's strange to analyze something that seems so familiar now and truly appreciate how different it was and how many themes are actually played with.

Yes it's a clever attack to Disney. But I prefer the "Animaniacs" spoof of "Bambi" better..."Bumbi's mom".
