How To Uncrush a Dog

A dog gets crushed by a barrel of...Roman Punch? Well, that’s the name of this 1930 cartoon from Terrytoons.



The mashed dog is turned into hot dogs, which get up, move toward the background and re-form as the dog—minus his tail.



The capper to the gag is the most fun. The last hot dog flat on the ground develops crutches, hobbles over to the dog and jumps on him to create a tail.



The earliest Terrytoons were named for foodstuffs. This was the fifth cartoon Paul Terry and Frank Moser made under the auspices of Audio-Cinema. Phil Scheib is the musical director.
