Tex Avery: Hollywood's Master of Screwball Cartoons (Legends of Animation) Library Binding – May 31, 2011

A nice biography of one of the greatest animation directors of all time. Their hasn't been a good book on TexAvery since the Joe Adamson book years ago. This covers all of his films all the way through his lesser tv cartoons. Worth a look.

What I loved best about Tex Avery was his humility. I really enjoyed how this audiobook went all the way back to his beginnings in Taylor, Texas. I learned a lot about Tex Avery but something that really stood out was that he was a lineal descendent of both Judge Roy Bean and Daniel Boone. Tex made "What's up Doc" a standard salutaion in the mainstream of society.I don't know of any other books I would compare this one to other than the other Legends of Animation Series books. Scott O'Neill’s performance was fine. He kept a steady pace and was easy to understand. I enjoyed his work very much.If I were to make a film of this book, the tag line would be the title. "Tex Avery: Hollywood's Master of Screwball Cartoons".
