Booming Flame

Tex Avery borrows the “Boom” gag from his own “Blitz Wolf” where an explosion spells the word “Boom” that goes past the camera.

“Red Hot Rangers” involves George and Junior putting out a cute little yellow flame in a forest. The flame runs into an explosives shack, followed by George, then Junior.



You can guess what happens next. Here are some of the drawings.



The scene ends with the harp-heaven gag Avery used in “Batty Baseball.”



The animators are Walt Clinton, Ed Love, Preston Blair and Ray Abrams. The story man is Heck Allen.

  1. The visual 'BOOM!' seemed to have been nicked by Chuck Jones for his experimental 1963 short "Now Hear This!," in the scene where "GIGANTIC EXPLOSION!" is seen as the sounds thereof are heard.
