Editing Tex Avery (section)

== Innovation ==
Gary Morris described Avery's innovative approach:{{blockquote|Above all, [Avery] steered the Warner Bros. house style away from [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]]-esque sentimentality and made cartoons that appealed equally to adults, who appreciated Avery's speed, sarcasm, and irony, and to kids, who liked the nonstop action. Disney's "cute and cuddly" creatures, under Avery's guidance, were transformed into unflappable wits like Bugs Bunny, endearing buffoons like Porky Pig, or dazzling crazies like Daffy Duck. Even the classic fairy tale, a market that Disney had cornered, was appropriated by Avery, who made innocent heroines like [[Red Riding Hood]] into sexy jazz babes, more than a match for any Wolf. Avery also endeared himself to intellectuals by constantly breaking through the artifice of the cartoon, having characters leap out of the end credits, loudly object to the plot of the cartoon they were starring in, or speak directly to the audience.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://brightlightsfilm.com/quickie-look-life-career-tex-avery/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150308075346/http://brightlightsfilm.com/quickie-look-life-career-tex-avery/ |url-status=dead|title=A Quickie Look at the Life & Career of Tex Avery - Bright Lights Film Journal |publisher=Brightlightsfilm.com |date= 1998-09-02|access-date=2018-03-14 |archive-date=2015-03-08 }}</ref>}}
