The Unwelcome Guest is a Barney Bear cartoon directed by George Gordon for MGM. It concerns the attempt of the leading character to have a picnic despite the presence of a skunk who keeps following him. Hilarious sight gags abound with constant action and swiftness. I especially loved the touch of Barney reading the book "Red Hot Riding Hood" (the title of Tex Avery's sexually-charged cartoon of the famous fairly tale) and whistling at the pictures (which the skunk on his spoon also does). While I've seen several Barney Bear cartoons on "The Tom and Jerry Show" as a kid in the '70s, this may have been the first time I saw this one. Well worth seeing for any animation fans or anyone who just wants a good laugh.
