The Hide and Go Tweet always managed to scare the hell out of me as a kid, and yet I was always looking forward to seeing it again. Thanks for the article. Good stuff!

Those knuckle-dragging arms are so creepy for some reason. Frederic March would have loved to have been able to pull off such a look. To me, the most macabre Friz cartoon is the 1937 <i>Pigs is Pigs</i>; absolutely nightmarish, especially the ending! I love Hyde’s design. Those knuckle-dragging arms are so creepy for some reason.

I watched Hyde and Hare prior to writing this, and while capturing the frames for my post I slowed down the action during Jekyll's transformation scenes. The exagerration in his design and in his animation inspired me to try the same at work. Thanks for commenting, John. And thanks for putting this together, Brian.
