Clip description

Curator’s notes

Hoota’s bad luck continues in this story with the discovery of a voodoo doll. Anything is possible in the world of Hoota and Snoz as the animators play with reality and wish fulfilment using voodoo dolls as inspiration. This device allows for much cartoon slapstick and painless violence.

The grandfather clock also sets up expectations. A loyal Hoota and Snoz audience knows exactly what is going to happen when the grandfather clock appears.
