Jerry looks outside the door after a knock and sees nothing. After he closes the door, Hanna holds the drawing for 15 frames, then the door is suddenly opened as Jerry realises what’s outside.
Jerry was one of the best pantomime characters in Hollywood. He always had a range of expressions, sometimes subtle, especially when violence isn’t involved. Here he is looking at the audience just before he closes the door.
Ken Muse, Mike Lah and Ed Barge are the credited animators.
This cartoons features Ray Patterson and Irv Spence animating as well, with almost a majority of the 1940s T&J animators (minus Pete Burness) animating on the same cartoon.
