Free of the budgetary and creative constraints he'd faced at Warners, and with a staff of skilled animators (some of whom were even ex-Creator/{{Disney}} employees) at his side, Avery went on to make some of the funniest and most acclaimed cartoon shorts of UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, if not of all time. From 1942 to 1957, he cranked out dozens of classics, many of which would codify the ZanyCartoon and thereby serve as an influence on countless followers, including master animator Creator/RichardWilliams.

Free of the budget and creative constraints he faced at Warner Bros., and with a staff of skilled animators at his side (some of whom were even ex-Disney employees), Tex Avery went on to make some of the best and most hilarious cartoons of UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, or in some cases, some of the most acclaimed cartoons of all time. From 1942 to 1957, he cranked out dozens of classics, many of which would go on to codify the ZanyCartoon and thus serve as an influence to many animators, including master animator Creator/RichardWilliams.

* ''WesternAnimation/ScrewballSquirrel''

* WesternAnimation/ScrewballSquirrel: First appearance of Screwy Squirrel.

** This may also have been because at the time the Hays Code prohibited the sound of flatulence in film, even if it was made by blowing a raspberry.

* Lonesome Lenny: The last appearance of Screwy Squirrel, as he is severely impaired in the end of the cartoon.

* Little 'Tinker

* Senor Droopy: Notable, if just for the RogerRabbitEffect ending, complete with a cameo of actress Lina Romay!

* Batty Baseball

* The Cat That Hated People: Tex Avery's answer to ''WesternAnimation/PorkyInWackyland''

[[folder:Filmography]]

* ZeeRust: His "of Tomorrow" shorts, which parodied documentaries about future technology that were popular in the 1950's.

* PantyShot: The girl flea in "What Price Fleadom?," Red in "Wild And Woolfy."

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "Flea Circus" is a Creator/TexAvery short InNameOnly, as it features a pathos story that, fleas being protagonists aside, is told without the slightest hint of irony; with virtually none of his breakneck pacing, timing, or post-modernistic quirks.

* ShaggyDogStory: "Deputy Droopy" has the sheriff tell Deputy Droopy that if he heard a sound, he'd come in, guns blazing. Two outlaws that are trying to sneak in and rob the safe therefore go to absurd lengths to ensure the sheriff doesn't hear any sounds. After a while of this, they decide the money "ain't worth it" and turn themselves in, only for the sheriff to reveal that his hearing aid battery has been dead for a weak, and therefore he can't hear a thing.

* LaserGuidedKarma: In "The Magical Maestro" a magician who was shunned as an opening act for a singer, gets revenge by taking the conductor's place and using his magio wand to mess with the singer's performance. At one point, however, his wig falls off and reveals his true identity, so the singer steals the wand and gets revenge by putting the magician through the same things he was put through.
