>>92225430Thinking back, I feel a lot of people (not you guys, I'm generalizing) don't really talk about how EEnE had a special understanding of how to do their slapstick.
I can't really think on other cartoons that are not old timey theatrical Tom & Jerry where destruction and slapstick felt like it had weight.
One of my favorite examples is in the christmas special when Ed drags the chimney all the way to his room. Every bit of the wall, the entire destruction of the floorboards all the way to him slamming it into his room has just the right amount of crunch and impact that makes your mind really get how hilariously destructive it was.
In a lot of slapstick, thigns breaking feel like props, even inc artoons; Like if breaking a wall was that easy. In EEnE, when someone broke or slammed through a wall or yanked something that should be bolted to the floor out you really felt it.
Not sure if you guys feel the same.
