  1. Jerry Hatchcock animates a lot of scenes; although I think he did the ostriches in the background.

    This is a charming sequence, I like the Norm Tate scene, I wonder if we do see him do the aligators; because I read somewhere that he animated them.

    I must admit: I have a phobia of ostriches; I think they're creepy-looking creatures; and I hate the look of them, the fur, the long necks, the eyes, Urgh! A lot of people think it's a very unusual phobia I have, but it's true - I'm terrifyed of them!

  2. Everyone here, with the possible exception of Howy Swift, is or was a Pluto animator at one point or another.

    What is Geroge Nicholas doing here?

    Hugh Fraser also animates the Ostrich in 'El Gaucho Goofy'.

  3. I'm not really sure what Hathcock did here... the first scene contains only one ostrich, and gives Swift and Hathcock identical footage counts.
