Robert Cannon is one of the aniamtors on this short. He does the scenes at 2:21-2:23 and also 2:59-10:32.

@PunkyBear36 I've spent a lot of years researching the work of Robert Cannon, and I don't think he worked on this short at all. I can however spot animation by Paul Smith, Art Babbitt, Grim Natwick, Pat Mathews and Willy Pyle.

At about 1:58, he passes right through a parked boxcar. what the fuck

@PunkyBear36 any advice for a young animator?

[PunkyBear36]

Oh dear, my mistake. You're probably right; if this is from 1949, then Cannon would have gone to MGM by this point. Figures Pat Matthews is in here, though.
