Doing the Pillow Stretch

Stretch in-betweens are among the highlights of To Duck or Not to Duck, a 1943 cartoon from the Chuck Jones unit at Warner Bros.

We’ve featured some of the stretch frames in the past on the blog. Here are some from another scene, after Daffy has been shot by “sportsman” Elmer Fudd and is falling from the sky. Fudd’s hunting dog gets prepared for the landing.



Larrimore (who says he isn’t Larrimore) lays down a pillow to cushion Daffy’s fall. These are consecutive frames.



The consensus I’ve read is Bobe Cannon is responsible for these scenes (including the in-betweens). He received screen credit, along with writer Tedd Pierce.
