Can we get more bugs bunny reader with BMW and D.O?

Ehhhhhh What's up Doc-Bugs Bunny

(BMW Wukong) Man now that i think about it he would be a mix between Daffy duck and Wild E Coyote with his loud mouth and never-ending arrogance and pride in his great sageness 🤣🤣🤣 you would come across him constanly and then especially when he wants to get even with the constant humiliationmaking his blood pressure rise. Though you are kind and sweet when you wanna be it's just Wukong tends to provoke you alot and that would lead to war especially when he never apologized for it. Though deep down you could never stay mad a him after all even with his tone death ass yell that your despicable.

(Bugs Y/n) Oh really would you spend hours making out with someone that despicable ��

(BMW) SHUUUUUUUTTTTTT UUUUUUUPPPPPP!!!!!!!😫😳😩🤯

(Destined one) Now the destined one is such a sweetheart to you, but you really wish he wasn't so stiff and hard in the face. So you tried to get him to smile once everyday, with either a funny gag prank or a song, you would even make baked carrot goods or help him in battle against enemies. The Destined one does admit that your looney cartoon antics are rather humorous and bazaar on many different levels especially on the battlefield. At this point he doesn't know what your gonna do next, but he wouldn't have you other way especially when it make him quietly smile😊

FEEL FREE TO REBLOG DOCS! 🤣🐰

The Folks behind the Toons

Tex Avery

Frederick Bean "Tex" Avery was born February 26, 1908, in Taylor, Texas.  Following a short stint at the Art Institute of Chicago, Avery headed out to Los Angeles where he got his start in the animation business as an inker, working on cels for animated short films in the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series.  Soon he was promoted to an assistant to director Bill Nolan.  Avery finagled his way into Warner Brothers pretending to have much more experience as a director than he actually did.  

Avery was assigned to work primarily on the black-and-white Looney Tunes instead of the Technicolor Merrie Melodies, but was allowed to make color Merrie Melodies beginning with Page Miss Glory from 1936.  Later that year he directed Porky the Rainmaker which stared a new version of Porky Pig that Avery designed.  This was followed by Porky's Duck Hunt in 1937, which introduced the character of Daffy Duck, who possessed a new form of zaniness that had not been seen before in animated cartoons. Daffy was an almost completely crazy, bounding about the film frame in double-speed, yammering nonsensically in a high-pitched, sped-up voice provided by actor Mel Blanc.  

The madcap style of Avery’s direction was a significant departure from much of what was being done in animation.  Many of the cartoons were slower, more gentle and similar to those produced at Walt Disney Studios.  Although initially thought of as low-brow and overly silly, Avery's style was a hit with audiences and he went on to direct dozens of subsequent cartoons, introducing many characters who would become staples in Warner Brothers’ catalog, including Elmer Fudd, Cecil Turtle and Willoughby the Dog.  He additionally came up with Bugs Bunny’s trademark phrase eh, what’s up, doc?’  which was how Tex greeted his friends throughout his childhood and teenage years.  

In 1941, Avery left Warners and signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where he formed his own animation unit and directed shorts in Technicolor that were produced by Fred Quimby.  Avery’s work at MGM led to the creation of many new characters, such as Droopy Dog, Screwy Squirrel, a new iteration of the Big Bad Wolf and of course Red Hot Riding Hood (hubba hubba) . 

During his time at MGM, Avery became friends with fellow animators, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.  Hanna and Barbera would borrow some of Avery’s madcap schtick in crafting their break-out hit, Tom and Jerry.  

Avery left MGM and went to work for Walter Lantz Productions in 1954.  Here he created Chilly Willy and directed numerous toons featuring the penguin.   His 1955 short, Crazy Mixed Up Pup, along with he Chilly Willy short The Legend of Rockabye Point were both nominated for an Academy Award.  

Avery went into semi retirement following the death of his son from a heroin overdose.  The tragedy contributed to the break up of Avery’s marriage to Patricia Johnson and led to a prolonged depression.  He returned to the industry briefly, working for his old friends Hanna and Barbera where he wrote gags for Saturday morning cartoons such as Fred and Barney Meet the Thing and Kwicky Koala.  

Avery passed away from lung cancer in 1980.  He is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, in a grave next to his son.  Avery’s signature style of breakneck pacing, nutty sight gags, exaggerated expressions and fourth-wall breaking bits would become incorporated into many of the other cartoons continuing to this day.   Avery’s influence is especially evident in such projects as The Ren and Stimpy Show, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Mask, SpongeBob SquarePants, and many others.
