I AGREE....Barney Bear was one of MGM's few true stars.
Few people seem to realize there's such a thing as "MGM humor"--but this studio had its own brand of it all along, even back in the late 30s. Compare this to the unfunny Warner-retread humor of Chuck Jones's takes on the Tom And Jerry series in the 60s, and you'll find how the latter comes up short in comparison with the good old toons.
some of the old Barney Bear cartoons are really crummy but the ones going into the late 40's and early 50's they've become much better. this is my favorite Barney Bear cartoon. pity it's rarely seen.
I remember this vaguely! I seem to remember teh scarecrow being alive rather that two crows dressed up. Those are some of the cutest crows I've ever seen!
1.50 the female crow is brown! Racist joke? Hmmm. Also assumes all the crows are straight and male.
This has been flagged as spam show
let's hope that warner bros will release the complete barney bear cartoons on dvd

That conga tune has been in my head for weeks, and I haven't seen this cartoon in years. Love how even Barney gets in on the action. Catchy!
