Double Trouble Take

Tex Avery pulls off another huge eye take in “Droopy’s Double Trouble” (released 1951).

Spike sees Droopy and his twin brother Drippy. His jaw drops.



Then his muzzle drops.



Then come the eyes. These are consecutive drawings.



And, naturally, there’s a throbbing eye bulge for just under a second before the take switches.



Mike Lah, Grant Simmons and Walt Clinton get the on-screen animation credits.
