Disney Doubles

Need a crowd scene? Just use the same drawings a second time.

You see it occasionally in the Harman-Ising cartoons released by Warner Bros., and you see it in the Disney short The Shindig (1930).

In the opening scene, some kind of stretch jalopy is carrying Mickey and Minnie to a barn dance. As the camera pans right, you can see there are two sets of the same four animals in the car, the same crows on the running board and two of the same bird following along the roadway.



There are several crowd scenes where some of the animals on the right side of the frame are mirror images of those on the left side.





Word is Burt Gillett is the uncredited director of this short.
