Expressive Pooch

So I’m watching this scene in Squirrel Crazy, a 1951 Terrytoon, and wondering if Jim Tyer animated it. Suddenly...



To borrow from another cartoon studio, "Mmmm...could be!"

It seems the writers also borrowed from a cartoon studio.



I don’t know what’s worse—Lillian Randolph’s Amos-n-Andy style dialect in the Tom and Jerry cartoons or the ridiculous suburban WASP-tinged-with-a-bit-of-the-South voice the unnamed maid has in this one.

This cartoon stars “Nutsy” who, let’s face it, isn’t very nuts compared with a certain MGM squirrel. Tyer animated a pile of scenes with the dog.

The cartoon was part of the “Terrytoon Toppers” re-release series, and returned to the big screen in October 1957.
