Mickey Mouse plays a conductor in this short, leading a band of barnyard animals (hence the title of the short)who are playing the "Poet and Peasant Overture." This short was okay, but I wouldn't call it one of my favorites. There were some funny scenes like were a pig is playing a trumpet and his hair falls out onto his face, giving him a beard & moustache. One was copied from "Steamboat Willie" where Mickey pulls nursing piglets in tune to the music.
