Daredevil Droopy, the 1951 Tex Avery animated cartoon circus comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; a circus advertises for a new "daredevil dog", who "must be fearless", and the two applicants for the job are Spike and Droopy, and the circus owner has them compete in a series of events, with the winner getting the job, and even though Spike cheats at every turn, and Droopy is his usual sedated self, Droopy still wins out) featuring the voice of Bill Thompson (in the title role as Droopy), and Daws Butler. Note that Fred "Tex" Avery was one of the greatest legends of Hollywood animation. He started working for Walter Lantz on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in the early 1930s. He moved to Warner Bros. in 1935, where he became a legend, working on the Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes series, creating or developing the best remembered Warner Bros. cartoon characters, including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, and others. In 1941, after a disagreement, he briefly worked on a series called "Speaking of Animals", where real animals "talked" with animated lips, but he soon signed a contract with MGM, where he did even more wonderful work than before. He developed an entirely new type of cartoon (his MGMs are instantly recognizable as being "Tex Averys"), and they include characters such as Droopy, The Wolf, Red Hot Riding Hood, and many others. He is one of the greatest animators ever, and posters from his cartoons are difficult to obtain, and are highly sought after by collectors!
