BURBANK, CA (March 13, 2007) It’s a doggone good time as Warner Home Video presents Tex Avery’s Droopy The Complete Theatrical Collection, available for the first time on DVD! The 2-Disc DVD Collector’s set, a must-have for fans of classic animation, is available on May 15, 2007 and includes the Academy Award nominated animated short “One Droopy Knight”.

World renowned Tex Avery created Droopy Dog, a low-key animated movie character at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. This mournful deadpan witty basset hound detective, who spoke in a jowly monotone voice, was shrewd enough to outwit his enemies the conniving Butch the Irish bulldog and the thieving, Nasty Wolf and English Fox.

“Tex Avery is a legendary figure in the animated world, having created Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Droopy, among others,” Dorinda Marticorena, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Sports Marketing. “We are thrilled to bring to DVD Tex Avery’s Droopy The Complete Theatrical Collection which will bring back childhood memories for some and find new fans among today’s animation devotees.”
