Tex Avery's Symphony In Slang Is my All-Time Favorite. It is An Animation Masterpiece, 2 May 2006
10/10
Author: 63x927is58401 from United States

Tex Avery is my all-time animation writer & director. Symphony In Slang is my all-time favorite cartoon. If I could , I would rate it one-hundred stars. Cartoon writer, Rich Hogan done the best work in Symphony In Slang, putting together at least sixty slang clichés & the animation that shows as the voice, John Brown, perfectly said numerous slang terms, throughout this all-time classic cartoon. Tex Avery's mind of continuous & numerous creations throughout his career, at any studio, is definitely that of an animation genius. Tex Avery's works & animation creations are extremely unique, especially during his fourteen plus years at Metro Goldwyn Mayer. In my dictionary, Symphony In Slang is Extremely & Hysterically Humorous, from beginning to end!
