Featured review
Not Great For Avery
Spike has spent twenty years digging an escape tunnel from his prison cell -- you can tell by the pile of dirt outside his window, a pile that dwarfs the prison. Yet when he comes up, it's not outside walls, but inside a television set which is promptly delivered to the warden's office. And because he has torn the guts out of the TV, he has to perform different bits as the warden changes channels.
The budgets were really cramping Tex Avery's style by this point, with UPA-level background work, and ugly -- although still well-animated -- character design. Or maybe he just laid back and had Michael Lah do the work. For Avery fans only.
