History YMMV / TexAveryMGMCartoons

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: "The Cat That Hated People." Several of the animators for it actually worked on ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''.

* ValuesDissonance: Many shorts contain a liberal amount of {{blackface}} (usually as the punchline to an AshFace gag) and other racial minorities such as Native Americans and Asians, as well as plenty of sexist or womanizing jokes. They tend to range from "awkward" to "only tolerable if you're forgiving of the time period." The uncut ''Droopy'' DVD set even includes a preface acknowledging this.
** The most egregious example is probably “Pint-Size Pygmy” which includes some of the finest SurrealHumor ever committed to animation but has fallen into obscurity due to its titular character being a horrendously racist stereotype.

** The Droopy DVD set even includes a preface acknowledging this, as the shorts are completely uncut.

* ValuesDissonance: Plenty of pot-shots towards Afro-Americans, most of which use {{Blackface}}, while "Big Heel-Watha" and "Jerky Turkey" ridicule Native Americans.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Unedited versions of the shorts are rare, and outside of the Droopy cartoons, few of these shorts in have seen any DVD release. Fortunately, there was a Laserdisc set, "The [[XtremeKoolLetterz Compleat]] Tex Avery" released which included ALL of Tex's MGM cartoons (including the two "banned" shorts "Uncle Tom's Cabana" and "Half-Pint Pygmy") uncut. If you look around online, you might just find it for a good price.

* AwardSnub: Despite making some of the most acclaimed shorts of the 40's, Tex never won an Oscar for any of his cartoons, and was lucky to be nominated twice--in contrast to the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' series winning ''seven'' Oscars and several nominations during this same time. This was notable enough to where an entire article was written about it on Blog/CartoonBrew! Fortunately, Avery's films got a better reward later on--five of his films occupy The50GreatestCartoons list (with four more as runner-ups) and one of his films even got inducted into the UsefulNotes/NationalFilmRegistry!

* EnsembleDarkhorse[=/=]OneSceneWonder: The hot female sheep from ''Sheep Wrecked''. She only has ''[[UpToEleven three seconds of screentime]]'', as a gag at that, but you'd be surprised at all the fan art that has been made of her.
