★★★ · If He Has a Brain, Why'd He Try to Pass? · Dodsworth the Cat · 2022-11-22

Plenty of still drawings and reused effects animation. Reused footage of a driver in a new Ford trying to pass a truck. This likely saved EB some money. But they're effective enough. The oft-heard car crash sound effect is heard twice here. The film is cut off at the end.
