In the very first Barney Bear cartoon, our hero settles in for his long winter's nap..... but can't get to sleep. There's leaking water, and flapping shutters, and all the indignities that stops the knitting up of the raveled sleeve of care.
Rudy Ising had spent a decade working with Hugh Harman in producing soppy cartoons suitable for children who are heavily drugged and tied up, before he directed this charming and funny one. I give a lot of credit to Heck Allen, the uncredited writer. Judging by his later collaboration with Tex Avery, the man knew what was funny.
