Coo 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.

Spring Fever
10 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

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.

Roar, Lion, Roar
6 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals
ButchButtercup

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.

Pleasant Dreams
1 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

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. When every trick fails, desperation leads to an unexpected solution that sends our feathered friend drifting off at last.

Money Magic
10 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals
MabelCheesie

When all the money in the city begins mysteriously vanishing, Supermouse sets out to track down the culprit—a stage magician named Whizzo who's using his powers to erase everyone else's wealth so he can become the richest being alive. With help from a quick-thinking plan and his friend Cheesie, Supermouse must navigate a bizarre dimension where vanished objects disappear to and stop Whizzo's scheme before it's too late.

My Hero
3 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals
Cuffy Cat

Cuffy Cat runs a taxi service and is thrilled when he picks up Frank Buckley, the famous wild animal hunter and adventurer whose daring exploits he's admired in movies. As Cuffy drives his celebrated passenger to the museum for a lecture, his excitement leads to a series of mishaps on the road that test just how brave—or unflappable—his hero really is.
