Early Jones Take

The goofy white magician’s rabbit indulges in a take in “Prest-O Chang-O” (1939). These are consecutive frames. It reminds me of a Casper Caveman take in “Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur,” the next Chuck Jones cartoon to be released by Warners.



And the dog’s eyes widen, too.



With one exception, Ken Harris, Bob McKimson and Phil Monroe got the rotating animation credits on Jones’ cartoons that year.
