Duck, Duck, Rabbit

Morphing gags are funniest when they come out of nowhere.

Here’s one I like in Romeeow, a 1930 sound cartoon starring Felix the cat.

Felix is serenading his girl-friend by radio. A duck drowns him out by constantly quacking. The cat puts a stop to it by tying a cloth around the duck’s bill.



In the next scene, the duck get some help freeing his beak. In the process, the cloth turns into a rabbit which hops out of the cartoon.



The characters are attractively drawn and the animation is good for 1930.
