☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCoo Coo the Bird Brain inadvertently becomes a coal miner when he accepts a ride from some birds who claim they cannot pay their fare and must work their way home; while shoveling coal, the pressure builds dangerously in the boiler, threatening an explosion. In a separate story, "The Cat and the Pelican," Kit Cat and a pelican go fishing in Florida, where they banter about the pelican's large mouth before the bird helps Kit recover stolen money from a criminal, earning the mayor's praise.
Coo Coo the bird brain gets a little too clever when he spots the first robin of spring—painting himself red to score a free meal. His scheme backfires when a flock of actual robins mistakes him for one of their own and drags him along on their migration, leading him on a wild adventure from Alaska to a frozen ship and back home again. By the time he returns, the last thing he wants to hear about is springtime—or any more feathered company.
When Butch and Buttercup's shortcut to water the elephants goes hilariously wrong at the circus, they're forced into a desperate deal: Buttercup will take over as lion-tamer for the evening show—except nobody mentions that the act's fake lion-skins walked out the door with the previous tamer. What was supposed to be a night of easy money with costumed performers turns into pure pandemonium when the real lions hit the ring, and our hapless pair finds themselves in way over their heads.
Buster Bunny struggles through the long hours of the night counting sheep—and then resorting to warm milk—in a bid to finally fall asleep in "Pleasant Dreams," a quick, wordless comedy from 1951.
