The mother's egg is shot down from the sky, but breaks its fall by partially hatching on the way down.
The duckling hatches at the edge of our heroes' boat, then dispenses with the unneeded shell à la mode Gypsy Rose Lee to a familiar MGM song (If anyone has the title, please post it).
Getting screen credit for animation in this cartoon are Walt Clinton, Preston Blair, Louie Schmitt and Grant Simmons.
This is the cartoon with the terrific “Technicolor Ends Here” gag. Unfortunately, the original end title animation has been replaced. However, E.O. Costello has advised us that it has been posted on-line. See it below.
Though mark you, you can see both the original beginning- and end-titles here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL9QazhlX7I And yes, the end titles do come out of left field, and rate a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea someone had put this on-line. Thanks. I've added it to the post.
DeleteThat's a fan recreation based on title card frames from an original print that were posted on Cartoon Research years ago.
DeleteIf actual footage of the original ending has made it into cartoon fan hands other than the guy who owns that original print, that'd be news to me.
