From a tourist site for Rauris Valley, in Salzburger Land:
“Schnabelperchten are figures with long beaks, knitted jackets, patched women’s smocks and straw slippers, and are equipped with a basket on their backs, large scissors, needle and thread, along with a broom. The beak is artistically and elaborately bound from large sticks of wood and farmhouse linen. The Schnabelperchten make their way through town on the 5th of January, on the eve of Epiphany.”
By the way, they cut you open with their giant scissors if your house isn’t tidy. Better clean up before they come.
Glen Keane’s rough animation for Disney’s Aladdin (1992).
Key layout drawing of Porky and Daffy from Robin Hood Daffy (1958), by Chuck Jones.
Chuck Jones would do layout drawings and divvy them out to his animators, who would use them as key poses.

Well, like I say… Dave Feiss is a god.
I loved these back when they were on TV… I was a Cow & Chicken fan, so I had no trouble recognizing Dave Feiss’s style in this.
Seaside Woman animated by Oscar Grillo. The stylization is incredible, my friend decedentiacoprofaga introduced me to it. Though I do not really care for the depiction of the islanders, artistically I think this short is important.
