The Wacky World of Tex Avery (French: Le Monde fou de Tex Avery) is an animated television series created by Robby London and co-produced by DIC Productions, L.P., Les Studios Tex SARL, Milimetros, M6 and Telcima.[1][2]
Both the series and the titular character were named after Tex Avery, an animator who is known for his work at Warner Bros., MGM and Walter Lantz Productions.[3] The creator describes the show as "homage to the brilliant, hilarious and groundbreaking animator Tex Avery and the wonderful squash-and-stretch cartoons of his era".[4] The series was first broadcast on French channel M6 on September 3, 1997, and later debuted in syndication in the United States on September 29, ending after one season on November 30 the same year. In the years since it debuted, The Wacky World of Tex Avery has been overwhelmingly panned for it being an "insult" to Tex Avery's legacy, along with its animation, humor, voice acting, character designs and imagery, theme song, pacing, outdated stereotypes and characters.
