Would have really liked to have seen what that western was like.<br /><br />(Warners' pre- and post-48 cartoons were a divide built out of corporate $$$ decisions, but there really is something of a split right about that time between the pre-48 efforts, which were more expansive with their animation, and the post-48 cartoons, which seemed to be more story driven and concerned with stories that didn't tax the budget. "Hare-Do" is a post-48 short that feels more like a pre-48 one -- basically, a follow-up to 1944's "Stage Door Cartoon" -- aside from the smears, there's a lot of other funny motion in this short, including the Stampede of the Nicotine Addicts.)J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
