The Tex Avery Show ( English: The Wacky World of Tex Avery ) is an American cartoon series with 65 episodes from 1997. It is posthumously dedicated to the animated film director Tex Avery, who died in 1980 . The characters and stories he invented do not appear in the series.

Characters

  • Tex Avery : Tex Avery is portrayed as a cunning, short stature cowboy with a huge cowboy hat, whose adventures take place almost exclusively in the Wild West. He not only fights against the aggressive saw blade sid, but also for the favor of the attractive Miss Gürtelkeusch. Although Tex is not the brightest himself, he always makes fire under his opponent's ass. Of course Tex (like every cowboy) owns a horse.
  • Genghis and Khani : Genghis is a lion and the general of a very strict and relentless emperor. Genghis is accompanied by four dumb Mongols . The cute little and inexperienced panda girl Khani constantly prevents Genghis from conquering his plans and often wants to play with him (hide and seek, tea party, dolls). Genghis' emperor likes Khani very much. This part of the series alludes to the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan .
  • Pompei Pit : The very simple-minded and with an Italian accent speaking uniformed man is a survivor of the volcanic eruption of Pompeii , which was preserved in a stone statue and brought back to life in modern times. He's always getting on the nerves of a crook named Bob who wants to make it big as a businessman or just want to be left alone.
  • Power Paul : Power Paul is a superpowered dog when he licks a shoe that a superhero lost and that ended up in his bowl. He is supported by Mini Fuzzy, a blue cat with an antenna for its tail. His opponents include u. a. a living bone or a living hydrant.
  • Freddy, the fly : Freddy, the fly prefers to annoy the choleric Amanda von Klunker, a multi-billionaire. Her threatening cry is: "Now you are going to bend, fly". Freddy often drives Amanda so insane that she has to go to a mental hospital.
  • Zweistein : Zweistein lives in the Stone Age , is among his peers the most intelligent and inventor of, for the time, anachronistic things, such as the stove or the television . He speaks in the German dubbing in the Saxon dialect.
  • Maurice and Mooch : Maurice is a rooster and Mooch is a fox . Mooch would like to eat Maurice, but Maurice prevents him by all means and sees it as a game.

content

The humor of the series is based on slapstick ; a gag with the progression of a sequence is shown increasingly extreme. The pattern of the various episodes is almost always the same. The evil characters like Mooch or Dschingis try every episode anew to achieve their goal. No matter how insidious and ingenious the plans are thought up, they always don't work out and the good character - in this case Khani and Maurice - win in the end.

Production and publication

The series was produced in 1997 by DIC Enterprises and Les Studios Tex under the direction of Shannon Nettleton. The music was composed by Mike Piccirillo.

1997 to 1998 the series was shown on US television. This was followed by broadcasts in Canada, Chile and Italy, among others. The German first broadcast took place on December 28, 1998 on Super RTL . The German version was also released on twelve DVDs by Koch Media.
