Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

TheLittleSongbird Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.Also have much admiration for Tex Avery, an animation genius whose best cartoons are animated masterpieces and some of the best cartoons ever made by anybody. 'The First Bad Man' is perhaps not the great man at his greatest but as far as his 50s cartoons go it's one of the best to me. It may not be among his most imaginative or refined on a technical level, budget was not as big as it was before, but it's still extremely entertaining and highly pleasurable cartoon in typical Tex Avery fashion.However, much of the animation is very good indeed, often excellent in fact. Very rich in colour, the backgrounds have meticulously good detail when limitations don't kick in occasionally and the character designs are distinctively Avery in style and are fluid in movement. The music, courtesy of Scott Bradley, is typically lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms and fits very well indeed, even enhancing the action.Can't fault Avery, whose unmistakable and unlike-any-other style is all over, nor the dynamic voice acting and the very engaging characters. The portrayal of Texas was very interesting.Voice acting is very nicely done, it's not Mel Blanc, Daws Butler or Bill Thompson but all three were very high in demand as voice actors and couldn't be everywhere and they were also not the only voice actors around (there were a great many and many very talented ones).In summary, great cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

kellyjkit ...told as only Tex Avery could! One funny thing is that if you would have seen this in 1955, you would have assumed that Dallas had a subway system. Well, we finally got one (actually a light-rail system) in the 1990s. (Dallas did have a trolley system back then that has fortunately been revived recently!) Whether you are a Texan or not (but ESPECIALLY if you are!), search this cartoon out. You will be a big kick out of it! Just don't come to Dallas searching for those huge cliffs, desert landscapes, or that jail -- but luckily, Dallas has learned to take itself a little less seriously in the past couple of decades, and you will see other fun things!

Robert Reynolds I make no claim that this is a great cartoon or that there is anything special or noteworthy about it in any technical sense. I LOVE IT!!!! It's the first Tex Avery I can remember and therefore remains much beloved. SO SUE ME!!! Recommended.
