In the 1976 Disney film The Shaggy D.A., a human stunt performer wore a full-body sheepdog costume to execute complex or dangerous physical maneuvers. This practical solution allowed the character to perform slapstick falls, drive cars, and run on two legs in a way that was both safer for real animals and intentionally hilarious for the audience.
