What an extraordinary story sketch by Bill Peet.
The circus ringmaster confronts Mrs. Jumbo, who is protecting her baby son. Every character showing distinctively different emotions. This reminds me of what Frank Thomas once said:
"If you have characters in a scene who all think alike, you have a problem."
I also love the crowd's shadows on the ground. Bill Peet is the man!!
