Disappearing Paper

Yosemite Sam tries to draw a gun in “Hare Trigger” (released 1945) but is thwarted by his own lack of skill. He may be thwarted a bit by the animation checker as part of the paper vanishes for four frames (the drawings are on twos).



Friz Freleng’s usual animation crew of the day got credit on this—Gerry Chiniquy, Manny Perez, Virgil Ross and Ken Champin. I imagine Warren Batchelder, Bob Matz and John Kennedy were among the assistant animators.
