    cute

    Eccentric millionaire offers fabulous reward for capture of world's smallest horse. Barney Bear is on the hunt assisted by his little donkey and a trained horsefly.

    It's a MGM cartoon directed by Dick Lundy. It's cute. It's all very cute. I'm not sure why people are down-voting this short. For Barney Bear, this is pretty good.
