In the third and final Barney Bear cartoon, Barney is out collecting berries, only to be pursued by a pleasant and helpful skunk who wants the fruit.
Michael Lah and George Gordon co-direct this cartoon as a virtually silent movie, with old of sight gags and sound effects. The look is pure candybox, with elaborate background work by Joseph Smith.
Lah would continue at MGM through the closing of its animation department a dozen years later, then go to his old associates at Hanna-Barberra. He would die in 1995, age 93. Gordon, who had started at Terrytoons, would later work for Hanna-Barberra and Depatie-Freleng, and live until age 79, dying in 1986.
