Where'd Those Guns Come From?

Yosemite Sam suddenly realises he’s dropping to Earth after Bugs Bunny ejected him from an airplane in Hare Lift (1952). He drops his guns and climbs through the air back into the plane.



“I’m-a takin’ over this flyin’ machine,” yells Sam as he leaps into the air.



Wait a minute! How did he get his guns back? And why doesn’t he have a holster for them? Oh, well, anything can happen in a cartoon.

Manny Perez, Ken Champin, Virgil Ross and Art Davis are the credited animators in this short by Friz Freleng’s unit.; I believe Warren Batchelder, Sid Farren and Sam Nicholson were assistants at the time.

    If you look really closely when Sam uses the parachute, he turns into the robot for a few frames because the animation of the opening of the parachute is reused.

      could be an animation error although as a kid i didn't notice that.

      I was thinking of that..never failed to catch my eye...and there's a resuse of that "nonchalant, cool, Sam" bit used in Capt.Hareblower (1953) and before in Bucanner Bunny (1948),too.

    You're right about anything happening in a cartoon. Even Sylvester help up a sign to the audience saying something to that effect.just before running up thin air to the top of a tree to catch Tweety.
