As a cartoon director Frank Tashlin, in my opinion, was greater for his use of cinematic angles.
In the matchless "Pig's Feat," the size of the surly manager is emphasized by Tashlin's tight cropping and extreme closeups. Where else in history have we ever seen a character stuff his head down another's throat and bawl him out-? To the accompaniment of rumbling tympani drums-? One of the most startling and hysterically funny sequences in all animation.
"Feat" employs some really breathtaking tricks to heighten the spatial quality of many scenes. And it is rapidly paced. Pay close attention to the rather angular aspect of Daffy's body when he loses the money and later as he's held captive. Tashlin's interpretation of Daffy has always been my favorite (Jones later destroyed the Daffy I loved--but that's another subject).
