A hen shepherds her chicks past the farm's fence into the food-filled and dangerous fields on the other side of the road in this cartoon directed by Rudolf Ising.
I've made my admiration for the Harman-Ising studio's technical proficiency in other reviews, and also my contempt for the stories they chose to tell, little moral fables about doing what mother says. In 1937 MGM fired the studio from its contracts, and began to put together its own animation unit. Unfortunately, they weren't so good, so they hired back Harman & Ising, and the cartoonists responded by offering better stories. Here, there is still the little chick who doesn't do what mama says and gets in trouble, but the results are far more humorous.
