A nice Barney Bear cartoon from MGM

By the mid-1950s, MGM and other excellent cartoon production companies began making cheaper and cheaper cartoons. Why? Well, UPA had made a lot of money and garnered some Oscars (why, I have no idea) for products like "Gerald McBoing Boing"...and so MGM, Disney and Looney Tunes realized they could cut costs by making less artistic cartoons with low cel counts. In many cases, the cartoons are grossly inferior to those of the 1940s and early 50s. In the case of "The Impossible Possum", however, while the artwork isn't quite as nice as the 1940s Barney Bear cartoons, it is still quite nice...especially by 1954's standards. In particular, the backgrounds are really nicely rendered and the cartoon looks nice.The story finds Barney wanting to catch a possum for dinner. Now I would imagine that there are better things to eat...but he's a bear and they will eat just about anything! However, as you'd expect, again and again the possum outsmarts Barney...even when Barney uses a sexy lady possum puppet.While Barney is not among MGM's best cartoon characters of the day, this is a pleasing and enjoyable short film.

fine Barney Bear

Barney Bear is trying to catch a possum for dinner. It turns to be a lot harder than it seems. The show starts with Barney already singing about having possum for dinner. I don't like it. He's just out hunting for one thing? It should start with him finding the possum and then he could sing about having possum for dinner. I would change the gag with Barney reeling in the possum. The possum should release his tail and catapult Barney into the air. That's a funnier joke. Despite a couple of questionable moves, this is still a fine Barney Bear cartoon.
