I don’t think the wide screen did the MGM characters any favours.
There’s no story credit. Lah’s animators were Irv Spence, journeymen Herman Cohen and Ken Southworth and long-time assistant animator Bill Schipek.

Missile Hits Its Cinemascope Target
Director Mike Lah borrows the target-missile-butt joke from The Three Little Pups for his cartoon Blackboard Jumble (1956).

Lots of reused animation in this one, which in places run into the same problems MGM had when they completely remade some of the Tom & Jerry and Avery shorts for widecreen (though at least the missile has a little speed here -- the modified version Lah used for "Sheep Wrecked" just kind of floats along over the expansive CinemaScope screen before it finds its target).
