Great news!
Except, were there ever any elements in these that could be considered un-PC? I don't want another Tom & Jerry here.

I have the Compleat Tex Avery set on laserdisc, and of all of the Droopy Cartoons, only Droopy's Good Deed had one gag cut. If you remember the cartoon, it's after the part when the old man's hat blows away and Spike takes it from Droopy after he sees the old man pull out money to give to Droopy. As he's counting it, the bomb Spike put in the hat explodes and the old man and Spike are in black face, and the old man sounds like Steppin Fetchit.

7 cartoons have gags cut (Droopy's Good Deed is cut even more on the French DVD set than on the Laserdisc), and and another 4 are totally missing

I'm sure this will sell huge numbers, so looks like more Tex will be coming. Hopefully Jerry will be able to get more involved and insure that these will be uncut.

There will be a complete Avery set... IF the Droopy set sells well.
The Droopy set is being put together by the family group as far as I know. I have minimal involvement at this point, but that could change.

It will be available for the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $26.99.
I really wish they would just release a whole mixed cartoon Tex Avery set with a Looney Tunes Golden Collection treatment...

Caballero Droopy (1952) was directed by Dick Lundy, while Avery was on a year-long sabbatical from MGM.
Deputy Droopy (1955) was left unfinished when Avery left the studio for good, so Avery animator Michael Lah completed the cartoon. Lah then took over the character, directing the seven remaining Droopy cartoons.
Unfortunately, the non-Avery Droopys will drag down the DVD set to some extent -- they're not very good, especially compared to the brilliance of the originals.
