The first was the "plucking hair" gag in this cartoon; the second was the "frog croaking" in CROSS-COUNTRY DETOURS.<br /><br />MichaelMichael J.

The one effect you lose on TV is when the rabbits jump into the scene from either side of the screen. Your peripheral vision is different watching a movie screen so the rabbits' sudden appearance is even more of a surprise.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-57949822986936726782013-04-18T16:39:44.624-07:002013-04-18T16:39:44.624-07:00I'm sure it did great on the big screen.I'm sure it did great on the big screen.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-27055555437199625112013-04-18T11:34:31.574-07:002013-04-18T11:34:31.574-07:00Avery does get the plot set-up out of the way here...Avery does get the plot set-up out of the way here in about 45 seconds, while it took the UPA guys about half the cartoon to get to the baton/wand justification in "The Magic Fluke". Mysto's fast patter and fast dance allow more time for the really fun parts (and when I saw this back in the late 1970s at the Carnegie Hall Cinema, it killed more than any other short on the all-Avery bill).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-5150404169419704662013-04-18T08:55:50.108-07:002013-04-18T08:55:50.108-07:00This is Mike Lah's animation, Yowp.
