Here's a great sneak from 'Donald's Dog Laundry', a Disney short from 1940, animated by the talented team that included the famous Preston Blair and Ken Muse (who was Preston's assistant on 'Fantasia', doing the 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' scenes). It was directed by Jack King.
The sequence is 32 frames and is then repeated on a smaller cycle to pick up the pace. Remember, in this short, Donald had bought himself a brand new dog washing machine, and in this spot, it had just appeared to Pluto that he's the one getting washed, so he's trying to slip away at first, and in the continuing sequence (not shown here), it loses the momentum (which is pretty obvious aound the 17th frame, pushing off his right leg). This stuff is part of a few scenes done by Disney animators Paul Allen and Norman Tate.
The final result of this beautiful sequence looks something like this (well, it's optimized):
