    CARTOON EVOLUTION #39 - DROOPY
    I take a look at the history and evolution of Tex Avery's Droopy, the impassive, lethargic basset hound created by the legendary Tex Avery in the middle-forties. A dog out of time and space, Droopy lives in a fast-paced, zany world - but never lets it bother him. One of the most important characters, spawning from one of the most ground-breaking series in animation history, Droopy has somehow gone down as a forgotten, underrated and underused gem, appearing in vastly fewer productions over time.
    I take a look at how Droopy has evolved and how animators changed his look, personality and visual style. Here's my look at Droopy through the years!

    With all the madcap, screwball characters Tex Avery created, it's amazing that one of his most famous is so sardonic and melancholic. But then, it was what made him stand out so much. And, you know what? I'm happy you did this little dog justice.

      Also the Southern Wolf. Although not nearly as famous as Droopy or the original MGM Big Bad Wolf, he is considered one of his funniest creations. And he is incredibly subdued even when angry or in pain.

    After "84 years" (2 years at most) you finally got to do a cartoon evolution of him. Despite his sad drowsy expression, Droopy is hands down one of those classic Tex Avery characters that always makes you smile and laugh your butt off especially when he’s paired off with his enemies such as the Wolf from Red Hot Riding Hood and Spike the Bulldog (not the Tom & Jerry Spike, but a different one), along with him becoming a recurring/cameo character for the Tom & Jerry series
    Even Bill Thompson and the later voice actors who voiced Droopy do a great job voicing his deadpan and droopy voice.

    When I first auditioned to become a student of Daws Butler (the voice of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Aesop Jr., Quisp the alien spokesman for the Quaker Oars Cereal of the same name, Cap’n Crunch and literally dozens of others), he thought it would be a good idea for each of us to talk about why we were interested in being Voice Actors. He went first, and talked about how this guy named Tex Avery gave him his first big break in cartoons. When he mentioned Tex’s name, I lit up and said, “Tex Avery? He’s my hero! He did more with speed and time than any other Director of cartoons!”. Which, of course, he did. I then shut up and let Daws say what he wanted to say. It was then my turn, and I told him about myself, and demonstrated a few of my own voices. When I was finished and Daws knew about me, Daws said, “Well, you’re advanced enough to not need my Voice Acting Workshop, so how would you like to come in once a week and we can read together and take it from there? Can you come back next Tuesday? And try not to be so tall when you do!” And I suddenly found myself being educated by a man who I’d heard all my life, who owed his career to Tex. Sadly, Daws passed away some years go, and I really miss him. But everything he taught me is now mine, and it comes with me wherever I go. If you decide to be a Voice Actor, here are two pieces of advice: when you’re looking at a script and getting ready to record it, PAY ATTENTION to the “music of the words”. Think about that until you understand what it means. Daws taught me that. Secondly, find something else to do for a living. There are SO many people trying to get into that field, almost no one makes it anymore. I’m not trying to tell you what to do…. I’m just trying to save you a LOT of heartache.

    Droopy was always one of my favorites as a kid. They didn't play him on CN as much as the others, so that made seeing him more special.
    Highly Underated.
    *Thank You for another Great Evolution Mate* 🐒

    I've only seen 4 or 5 Droopy cartoons, but they are some of the best cartoons I've seen. Such an underrated character.

  • @brianlevine871
    @brianlevine871 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Droopy surely deserves a good comeback. I've always enjoyed his classic shorts, and his cameos in "Roger Rabbit" and "Tom and Jerry" content are fun to watch. Whatever they got planned for that upcoming short, I just hope it turns out well. That, and it doesn't get the ax. Better yet, we need a Droopy cartoon where he gets back at Zaslov for the animation purge.

  • @vincentfranklin17
    @vincentfranklin17 ปีที่แล้ว +8

  • @IsitheScribe
    @IsitheScribe ปีที่แล้ว +6

    You know what Dave…IM VERY HAPPY I’m so glad you did an evolution on a largely forgotten but highly underrated character that is Droopy! The classic shorts are my favourite iteration but whenever he pops up in a modern Tom & Jerry cartoon the little guy never fails to bring a smile to my face😊 Had no idea that there are plans to do a revival and if it survives the current climate I’ll very thrilled!

  • @raphaelmarquez9650

    Droopy is totally up there with Mickey, Bugs, and Tom & Jerry as one of the greats in animation history.

    I actually knew Kwicky Koala existed but only because of an old Cartoon Network bumper where multiple cartoons call out “sick” and CN was left with running a Kwicky Koala marathon.

  • @cassandralyris4918
    @cassandralyris4918 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    That moment when your brain pulls out 40 year old memories of watching Kwicky Koala on TV as a kid 🤯!
    Anyways, I love Droopy. Always have. He's just so funny to me. So glad you've finally covered him, and touched on Wolfie and Red too! I'd love to see a full video on Red!

  • @PapaTaurean

    When I saw WHAO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT on its original release in 1988, I could identify all of the classic characters (that is, those not created just for that film)...except Droopy. When I later told my parents about that, I mentioned "this elevator operator, a dog of some sort...cracked me up beyond belief..." My father said "Sounds like Droopy." Better late than never.

    I've loved Droopy for years. I've been looking at other documentaries about the cartoon studios, etc., and there's never a word about him. Tonight I typed in Droopy Cartoons and found your documentary posted only 14 hours before. Now Droopy has a thorough biography and - I'm happy!

    On the Droopy poster, the font for "Next Week" is a rare font that was used for Gerry Anderson's Stingray among other shows. It disappeared in the early 70's.
    I know all this cause in 2021, the font was found on an old Letraset sheet I bought.

    Coincidentally, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (the original producer and distributor of Tom and Jerry and Droopy cartoons since WBD owns the Copyright) currently owns the rights for Hannibal series including The Silence of the Lambs under Orion Pictures Corporation banner, in which now currently part of Amazon.

    Fun facts: Droopy was voiced by Don Messick aka the OG voice of Scooby-Doo, also voiced in several Tex Avery's Droopy Cartoons from MGM between 1949 and 1950, one of which is Wags to Riches (remade in 1956 as Millionaire Droopy) and The Chump Champ.

    If all the characters who made their debut in the golden age of cartoons were a part of a classroom, Droopy would be the shy and quiet emo-goth kid who doesn't say/do much, but can and WILL beat you to a bloody pulp if you piss him off!

    Droopy & Dripple in The Tom & Jerry Show shows the best animated Droopy style of all. Droopy may have a sad look to him, but he does show a smile more often. He's cute for a cartoon dog. Tom and Jerry's chase scenes will always get more laughs from me, yet we can never overlook the charm and handsomeness that Droopy's character adds to the line-up. While Droopy, Dripple, Spike, Tyke and all their canine companions entertain us from morning till night, I'll always be a cat lover. So to cut a long story short, while I do like Droopy, Spike and other canine characters, Tom and Jerry come out on top. I prefer a cat and mouse chase between Tom and Jerry.

    I always assumed that Droopy's modern appearances on Tom and Jerry media was always because of both their respective series being produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Cartoon Studio
    Also, a lot of people compared Droopy to the little man of the Draft Board, a character who molests Daffy Duck in the 1945 Warner Bros. Cartoon 'Draftee Daffy'

    Coincidentally, the Hannibal movies including The Silence of the Lambs is currently owned and distributed by Amazon's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer through Orion Pictures unit, which was the same company behind its original MGM Cartoons particularly Droopy. Although, Turner and WB owns currently for Droopy and other classic MGM Cartoon Studio stars, while WB also managed to distributed both Turner's MGM library and even Amazon's MGM Home Entertainment library (since 2020, replacing Disney's 20th Century Home Entertainment), under the Home Entertainment division, but this time, joint forces with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to form Studio Distribution Services.

  • @i.m.evilhomer5084
    @i.m.evilhomer5084 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Due to his shared Looney Tunes DNA through creator Tex Avery, I feel like the Droopy & his supporting cast would be better served appearing in Looney Tunes media, rather than being supporting characters in Tom & Jerry media.

    I wish I could be so optimistic about a possible return to glory for Droopy.
    As splendid as the original Avery Droopys are, part of the joke is that Droopy is a one-joke character. Somehow, Avery is able to use this limitation to make the cartoons *funnier*. But whenever others try it, they accidentally spotlight the limitations without making them somehow funny.
    That the passive pooch is so often limited to concise cameos indicates some animator awareness of the conundrum.
    To paraphrase Oscar Hammerstein, how do you solve a problem like Droopy?

    YES!!! We need some newer shorts of Tex Avery's Characters. I think Droopy needs his very own cartoon show with him being the main star of his own new shorts but with the other Tex Avery characters. Like Screwball Squirrel, The Wolf, Red, George and Junior and Barney Bear (even tho he wasn't one of Tex's characters). My favorite Droopy short is the "Dixieland Droopy" cause it's one that I remember watching the most. I like all the others just as equally as "Dixieland Droopy." As always I enjoy these Cartoon Evolution videos. They give LOTS of info that sometimes I find that I didn't know about. It give me some newer look into the backstories of these classic characters that I thought I knew all about but then watching your videos. I'm finding out more about them. Thanks and can't wait for more to come!

      I was totally thinking the same thing and I agree with you. These characters including Droopy are often overlooked and haven't come off the shelf from the Warner Brothers library of classic cartoons. They truly deserve to be revived. And they should also revitalize the Tom and Jerry cartoons based on their mid-1940s shorts. It would give everyone that feel of the glory days of old-timey theatrical cartoons. In fact, I was thinking of being the new voice of Droopy for these new cartoons since I want to be a voice actor when I'm older.
