Porky’s chopping down the tree where the squirrel is resting on a vacation. The squirrel unzips an exit in the tree trunk (an ingenious idea by Lloyd Turner and Bill Scott, helped by Treg Brown’s zipping then opening noise), and grabs the blade off Porky’s axe. I like the expression on the squirrel.



Cut to the next scene. The force from Porky’s axe-handle hitting the tree jerks his body and his hat around, and finally pops out (with a cork-popping sound) of the pig’s tail.









Then the great line. Porky looks at the axe blade and says “Gee, you don’t need to fly off the handle like that.”

Emery Hawkins, Don Williams, Bill Melendez and Basil Davidovich are the credited animators.
This is a brilliant Don Williams scene. He and the rest of the Davis unit do great work on this cartoon.
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon was decent, all except for the ending, which is awful.
