Trombone Lightning

The special effects in the performance of the Overture to William Tell (from the Walter Lantz cartoon of the same name) are a little too realistic.

A trombonist is hit by lightning. Here are the drawings. They’re animated on ones. The effects animator (Sid Pillet?) does all the work here.



The one below is my favourite.



La Verne Harding and Casey Onaitis are the credited animators for director Dick Lundy.
