Clampett Animating... On His Own Cartoon?

I remember watching Porky’s Badtime Story a few months ago and seeing a style that was shockingly similar to something of a Bob Clampett animation—of course, it turned out it was in fact Clampett’s work. It’s so interesting to see Bob Clampett animate on his own cartoon, considering he doesn’t do anything from Get Rich Quick Porky (his second cartoon) and onward as an animator. 

The most likely reason he animates on this cartoon is probably because some of the animation was finished under Ub Iwerks’ direction before he left. Clampett animated on the two Iwerks directed shorts from before, so it’s probably the most likely reason.

Clampett’s credited on both!

Of course, there’s a switch near the end of Clampett’s sequence, where it switches to Bill Hammer’s animation. Or at least I think it’s Bill’s work (Bill Hammer comparison below).

The animation for the original sequence is just as great as the remake’s animation (by Phil Monroe and Virgil Ross, both animator’s parts shown below and compared to the original scene).
