Wacky World of Tex Avery: Pompei Pete in the 21st Century Overview
Widely hailed by critics and animation fans alike for his pioneered use of the styized “squash and stretch” brand of animation, award-winning director TEX AVERY was one of the key members of the creative team that shaped such world-renowned characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig.

I love the Orange Thief! It takes a bit to get into, but is well worth it. It’s as beautiful, funny, sad and human as Sicily itself. And could it be that with all its fruit, almonds, olives and “batches” (beaches), Sicily is still so poor because, like Rosalba, it shoots itself in the hand? If you have Southern Italian or Sicilian roots, you may see your relatives in some of these characters, or, as I did, in myself.
If you came to this movie for the Italian language, you may be disappointed. There is much Sicilian dialect, so the only recognizable Italian you hear may be that spoken by the prison guard and the tourist – disgraziati!
What ties all together is the music – great Sicilian folk music. I hope this group produces more music, and many, many more movies!

I actually, believe it or not, received this DVD on accident. I meant to buy the book, but didn’t read the product listing properly. So, in spite of my folly, when the DVD arrived I was pissed off. But I popped it in the DVD player anyways. To my surprise, I learned so much more than I expected from the DVD. The DVD kept me attentive, I was able to work around the house and still listen to the DVD at the same time. It took the stress out of reading for once, just because I had the DVD. Plus all the vivid pictures and explanations helped me see the wines, and understand more about what the narrator was saying. DVDs are great educational escapes from books. And I felt that this was a great example. I feel that I don’t even need the book because the DVD was so informal.
