Pie-Eyed: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

During [[The Silent Age of Animation|the 1920s]] and going into the [[The Golden Age of Animation|1930s]], animated characters tended to have eyes or pupils which were black and circular, but shaped like a pie that's had one slice removed from it. This was widespread until around the time color became the standard for most cartoons in the early 1940s, by which time the [[Inkblot Cartoon Style]] had fallen out of favor, and [[Western Animation]] as a whole had undergone significant [[Art Evolution]].

 

* Foxy from ''[[Merrie Melodies]]''.

* [[Complete Monster|The Coachman's]] [[Nightmare Face]] from ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]''.

* It was used in the ''[[Two Stupid Dogs]]'' short "Hobo Hounds", which was made to look like an old silent cartoon.

* Appropriately enough, when [[Pac-Man]] is pictured in his mascot form (as having arms and legs) he usually has these eyes. It shows up on the arcade cabinet art, and in later games such as ''Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures'' and ''[[Pac-Man World]]''.
