Avery had used a similar gag in his Merrie Melodies short Tortoise Beats Hare (1941) starring Bugs Bunny, which in turn was an expansion/exaggeration of the premise of his The Blow Out (1936) with Porky Pig. you know what? I'm the hero." In the cartoon, Droopy is tracking an escaped convict and is always waiting for the crook wherever he turns up. Droopy's first scene is when he saunters into view, looks at the audience, and declares, "Hello, all you happy people. History Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ĭroopy first appeared in the MGM cartoon Dumb-Hounded, released on March 20, 1943. Nevertheless, Droopy is generally understood to be a basset hound. In The Chump Champ, it was given as "Poodle". In the cartoon Northwest Hounded Police, Droopy's last name was given as "McPoodle". The character has been revived several times for new productions including films and television shows also featuring MGM's other famous cartoon stars, Tom and Jerry, either as their ally or enemy. He starred in 24 theatrical cartoons, ending in 1958 as a result of MGM closing its cartoon department. He was officially first labeled "Happy Hound", a name used in the character's appearances in Our Gang Comics. Though he was not called "Droopy" onscreen until his fifth cartoon, Señor Droopy (1949), the character was already named "Droopy" in model sheets for his first cartoon. The character first appeared, nameless, in Avery's 1943 cartoon Dumb-Hounded. When finally roused to anger, often by a bad guy laughing heartily at him, Droopy is capable of beating adversaries many times his size with a comical thrashing.
Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a jowly monotone voice, and-though hardly an imposing character-is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies. He was created in 1943 by Tex Avery for theatrical cartoon shorts produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio.
He is an anthropomorphic white Basset Hound with a droopy face hence his name. Droopy is an animated character from the golden age of American animation.
