largento Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 The gate is attached on both sides, but there's no division between it. (It can't open.) Still, it could just be ornamentation above the actual entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attachments to the pillars are so slight to be hinges that I figure it really is just an ornamental span. There is a more glaring problem remaining, however. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the light is coming from the upper right (as lighting on the stone pillars suggests) you might not need a shadow from the tree. What I'm looking at is a clear human mistake and awkward quick fix.

You are correct! It looks like someone totally forgot the "IF" and then just tacked it on the side to shoot the scene. 😀 I guess with water colors, repainting the whole line would not work? I remember just barely noticing it when I saw that cartoon on TV, back in the 80s maybe. But I wasn't sure if i had seen it or not and I never saw it again until I got this DVD set.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted June 10, 2020 On one of the commentary tracks the difference between Sylvester's and Daffy Duck's voice is brought up. It is not that "Daffy" is Mel Blanc's "Sylvester" voice sped up, although that much is true. The real difference, according to Mel Blanc, is that Sylvester is Gentile and Daffy is Jewish. In Mel Blanc's mind, Daffy was a Jewish comedian, a vaudevillian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When learning about layout I remember my teachers saying to be cautious about how background objects lineup with characters heads, here it looks like the animators lined up Daffy intentionally under that tree... it adds to the humour.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted October 9, 2020 There must have been a fear in the 1950s that Americans weren't understanding the blessings of capitalism. "Yankee Dood It" (1956) is one-half cat-and-mouse cartoon, one-half shoemaker-and-elves, and one-half lecture on productivity and market competition. This and two other like-minded WB cartoons were financed by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
