All Four Stooges.


You read right. Moe, Larry, Curly, and Shemp together. There was one short, "Hold that Lion", filmed after "Curly" Howard's health problems sidelined him. Shot so he could remain seated and still perform, and absent his usual razor-close haircut. All were brothers, except for Larry Fine. 

Later, often forgotten members of the "3" Stooges were Joe Palma (doubling Shemp after a heart attack), Joe Besser, Joe "Curly-Joe" DeRita, and Emil Sitka, who subbed for Larry when he suffered a series of strokes.

This one's for all my 3d and 2d digital Animator friends. See how it was done back in 1971, with stone knives and bear skins.
