Tip Your Head

Egghead politely acknowledges the theatre audience when he enters the picture in Cinderella Meets Fella (1938). He doesn’t just tip his hat.



The cartoon ends the way you’d expect a Tex Avery cartoon to end—Cinderella is in a theatre watching the cartoon she was in, then climbs back into the cartoon before she and Egghead leave it and go into the theatre to watch a newsreel. To think the same studio was inflicting Buddy on people just a couple of years earlier.

Egghead is in his Joe Penner mode here.



Danny Webb is Egghead/Prince; Berneice Hansell squeals as Cinderella and it sounds like Elvia Allman as the fairy godmother. The Duke of Brittingham is the credited story man.

    I'm surprised we don't hear a pop as he does that.

  2. Only time that Egghead really amused me was his brief scene in Quackbusters.

    "It's unbelievable!"

  3. Literally the first image that comes to my mind when I think of Egghead.
