Episode specific description:
Animation historians Jerry Beck and George Feltenstein talk about restoring the Tex Avery Screwball Classics, Vol. 1-3

Ready to dive headfirst into the world of animation? We've got you covered! Get ready to be enchanted as animation historians Jerry Beck and George Feltonstein unfurl the illustrious career of legendary animator Tex Avery. Travel back in time to Avery's beginnings in the 1920s, explore his work at Walter Lantz Productions, and marvel at his non-conformist shift from the Disney style of animation in the 1940s. His bold humor and distinctive gags not only made him a legend but also revolutionized the animation industry.

Restoring and preserving these masterpieces wasn't a walk in the park. Jerry and George share their painstaking journey of piecing together Avery's work in the mid-90s, dealing with censored cartoons, and their relentless search for the best materials available for the restoration process. They've worked tirelessly to restore and preserve these classic animations and have succeeded in bringing them back to life on these three Blu-ray releases.
