The magic of classic animation returns in this all new series of animated cartoon shorts starring the next generation of classic cartoon characters in wild "squash & stretch"-style, and 4th wall breaking antics! These belly-laugh-funny short segments each star a different member of a wild family of original characters including the bumbling Roman centurion, "Pompeii Pete," the inept conqueror and the little princess he cannot conquer ("Genghis and Khannie,") the lamest super hero on 4 legs ("Power Pooch"), the world's first inventor ("Einstone"), the ultra pesky "Freddie the Fly" and of course, wackiest hero in the old West, "Tex Avery" himself. An homage to the brilliant, hilarious and great.

Frederick Bean "Tex" Avery (February 26, 1908 – August 26, 1980) was an American animator, cartoonist, director, and voice actor. He was known for directing and producing animated cartoons during the golden age of American animation. His most significant work was for the Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, where he was crucial in the creation and evolution of famous animated characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Droopy, Screwy Squirrel, The Wolf, Red Hot Riding Hood, and George and Junior. He gained influence for his technical innovation, directorial style and brand of humor. Avery's attitude toward animation was opposite that of Walt Disney and other conventional family cartoons at the time. Avery's cartoons were known for their sarcastic, ironic, absurdist, irreverent, and sometimes sexual tone in nature. Avery's cartoon focused on sight gags, surrealist humor, rapid pacing, racial stereotypes, and violent humor, with wacky characters that broke the fourth wall.
