Hare Do Smears
There are three spots with smear animation in the Friz Freleng cartoon “Hare Do.” I’ll post two. Here’s the first, after Bugs lures Elmer over a cliff.

Burness and "Hopalong Shapiro" earn background mention from Paul Julian here. Would have really liked to have seen what that western was like.
ReplyDelete(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.L., if they made Hopalong Shapiro, it'd probably feature Jewish Indians.
ReplyDeleteWasn't "Hi ho Shapiro!" a gag in one of Avery's travelogues at Warners?
Nice smear animation courtesy of Virgil Ross, one of my favorite animators!!
