Jinks thinks he’s outsmarted the meeces. The jack-in-the-box will open up at the top, so he’ll duck down and his head will be beside it when he flips the latch. Wrong again, Jinks.
There’s a cycle of four drawings that fades out to end the vignette. What’s unusual about this cycle is one drawing is held for three frames and the other three are held for two frames. But it’s a different drawing held longer in each cycle. In the re-creation below, we’ve held the same drawing three times. It has been slowed down. Sorry for the TV bug.
And it’s on to the next Pixie and Dixie cartoon.
The wide mouth on Jinks above should be a give-away that this was animated by Carlo Vinci (the head moves in Vinci-esque angles when Jinks talks). I’m pretty sure the backgrounds are by Fernando Montealegre.
