Avis à la une
Also have much admiration for Tex Avery, an animation genius whose best cartoons are animated masterpieces and some of the best he ever did. Generally like the Droopy cartoons and the character himself a lot, his best cartoons are classics and among Avery's best. 'Wild and Woolfy' is not one of the best Droopy cartoons, and is not as good as the previous cartoons 'Dumb-Hounded' and 'The Shooting of Dan McGoo'. It's wonderfully wild fun, even if the basic story is predictable and Droopy is more of a barely seen supporting character.
With that being said, his contribution is still memorable and shows off his remarkably well-established personality beautifully.
The Wolf is a villain that has menace and great comic timing, the girl is beautiful and sexy and the horse steals the cartoon (one of the funniest horses easily in cartoondom). 'Wild and Woolfy' is endlessly inventive and hysterically funny in typical Avery-style cartoon.
Tex Avery does a wonderful job directing, with his unique, unlike-any-other visual and characteristic and incredibly distinctive wacky humour style all over it as can be expected.
Some of 'Wild and Woolfy' is over-the-top and weird in a delicious way, it is also incredibly clever, imaginatively creative and full of inspired visual gags, play on words and hilariously droll asides and puns. The strangeness was an enormous part of its charm. There is enough variety to stop it from being repetitious.
'Wild and Woolfy' is beautifully and brilliantly animated as usual. The character designs are unique, Avery always did have creative character designs, and suitably fluid. The music, courtesy of Scott Bradley, is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms and fits very well indeed.
Voice acting is very good from Bill Thompson, Pinto Colvig and especially Paul Frees.
Overall, great and wonderfully wild cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox
As you'd expect from the Tex Avery cartoons that he made for MGM, this one has terrific animation, lots of wonderful gags and a weirdness that makes you shake your head and wonder what was wrong with that guy! Funny and well worth your time.
It's non-stop fun and action (even some adult-oriented fare!). Some laughs, and plenty of witty spoofs and gags.
Grade B+
Watch for Droopy's appearances in this one-he pops up unexpectedly in some amusing places. There's also a great running gag here that may well be his best running gag, certainly the best Avery used while at MGM (the one at the core of The Legend of Rockabye Point may be better, but I love that cartoon so much, I could be biased in its favor) and running gags were a staple in Avery cartoons. Most of them had at least one. Good cartoon and the ending is great. Well worth watching. Recommended.
I like everything except Droopy's voice. He doesn't sound like the Droopy that I know and he doesn't talk enough. He has the same style, but the tone is off. They're probably using different voice performers. As for the final reveal, a funnier joke would be Droopy demanding that Wolf pay for the ice cream and let him go afterwards. This is good overall.
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe background art was meticulously and colorfully rendered, as befitted animation's golden age. Among the desert plants seen are Saguaro and barrel cacti, yuccas, and the Joshua tree.
- GaffesWhen crossing the highway at the 'boulevard stop', the Wolf makes a fatal (for a human; not for a Toon) mistake - he looks left, then right, then crosses without looking left again. Looking left the second time ensures that no traffic is coming in the lane the crosser is about to enter.
