Cheering Hot Dogs

Multi-character animation cycles take up a portion of Touchdown Mickey (1932); in fact there’s one cycle that director Wilfred Jackson re-uses.

Maybe my favourite one in the short involves a cheering hot dog vendor, with his hot dogs cheering as well. (The vendor is a pig so we can hope these are not pork hot dogs).



There are 19 drawings in the cycle. Some thought has been put into it as the vendor’s movements are animated both on ones and twos, but something moves (puffs of steam, for example) in every drawing.

Here is a slow version.



This speed is a little different than what you’d see in the actual cartoon.



No artists, as usual in a Disney cartoon of this era, are credited.
