King-Size Canary is an animated cartoon short that debuted in movie theaters in 1947. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and directed by Tex Avery. [2] The canary in this short was a primary inspiration for the design of Maurice, a character from The Wacky World of Tex Avery.
Tex Avery worked at Leon Schlesinger Productions directing Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts for Warner Bros. between 1936 and 1941. Here, Avery had developed the Looney Tunes signature style of cartoon humor and was essential in the creation and/or development of many of the studio's star characters, including Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and most notably Bugs Bunny.

Avery began his stint at MGM working with lush colors and realistic backgrounds, but he slowly abandoned this style for a more frenetic, less realistic approach.
