Busybody Bear, the 1952 Dick Lundy Barney Bear animated animation cartoon comedy short ("Falling trees! Watch your konk neighbor! signed Beaver"; produced by Fred Quimby; the well meaning but dim-witted Barney Bear learns that it is Good Neighbor Week, and he tries to help his beaver neighbor by building him a much bigger dam, but all that results in is everybody's houses being flooded) featuring the voice of Paul Frees (in the title role as Barney Bear). Note that Barney Bear was one of the most popular MGM cartoon characters of the 1940s. He first appeared in 1939 in "The Bear That Couldn't Sleep", and was created by director Rudolf Ising. In 1941, he was given his own series of cartoons. Barney Bear was a very large slow moving sleepy bear who usually was simply wanting to rest, and the other characters kept disturbing him. Some of the animators who worked on the Barney Bear cartoons also worked on Tex Avery cartoons, but Avery himself never worked on a Barney Bear cartoon. The last Barney Bear cartoon was made in 1954, although he was resurrected decades later. A curious footnote is that in a 1953 cartoon, Barney Bear is mentioned as living in Jellystone Park, which of course would later become the home of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear.
