Hautecourt that make his eyes look gigantic. An oft-used gag, but never funnier than right here. Other favorites of mine: Basil getting stomped by Toby's giant paw. Oliver all fluffed out. Merlin's beard frizzing until he looks like a dandelion puff. But I think my number one fave is Bagheera posing to look like that feline statue. Cracks me up every time.

Originally Posted By christiemarsh88 I love the Bagheera thing, too. For some reason, I always crack up when the mop stops in Sleeping Beauty. It 's when they're cleaning the cottage. It's just the way that it seizes up. I don't know why. And I love Clopin dressed as Frollo in Hunchback when they're going to hang Phoebus and Quasimodo.

Originally Posted By christiemarsh88 Oh, yeah. That one is good. And I love the look on Woody's face after Bo Peep's kissed him under the mistletoe, when he jumps back on the bed next to Buzz. It's so cute!
Originally Posted By u k fan Not so much a gag, but something I think is cool is how Clopin stands behind Quasimodo and mimics him during the crowning of the King of Fools!!!

Originally Posted By christiemarsh88 ^^^That one always scared me when I was little. Not so much a gag as just a funny mistake: In the original VHS version of the Little Mermaid, when Eric and Ariel go off on their carriage ride, Carlotta and Grimsby wave goodbye from the balcony. There's a little problem with the layering, and it looks like Grimsby's grabbing Carlotta's ample bottom. Just looks pretty funny.

Originally Posted By brotherdave Snow White had lots of great gags... The dwarfs' noses popping up over the foot of Snow White's bed one by one was always a favorite gag of mine. Also, the turtle trying to climb the stairs in the dwarfs' house, only to be knocked down the stairs from the top as the animals rush out when the dwarfs returned home. Another good one is when the turtle is being used as a washboard in "Whistle While You Work".
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Does this count as a sight gag? I liked the sequence in "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" when Brom and Ichabod keep "trading" the short fat girl to dance with Katrina.
Originally Posted By CuriosWolfSo I guess so. In "Peter and the Wolf", I liked it where the bird, Sasha, tied up the Wolf's long jaws with the Wolf's upper lips.
Originally Posted By basil fan That sequence with Brom & Ichabod is fantastically funny, but it issn't a sight gag; it's made up of a bunch of great sight gags, my favorite of which is when Ichabod moves aside the flour & sees Brom's angry eyes.
