I have long loved Beaky Buzzard, one of Warner Brother's seldom-seen cartoon characters. Usually, he is seen chasing and trying to eat Bugs Bunny, but in this one he is paired with Leo the Lion. Leo is celebrating his 10th birthday when along comes Beaky to the party along with a present. The present happens to be a book that says that lions rarely live past 10 years, and so Beaky reasons it's about time for Leo's demise. Well, he is an impatient buzzard and tries a wide variety of ways to kill the poor lion. Finally, the lion flies to the moon to avoid being eaten. But, once on the moon, you-know-who is there waiting. The lion ducks into a cave and stays there many years--at which point Beaky is STILL there, but no longer able to chew anything but marshmallows.
While not nearly as good as other Beaky cartoons, he's still cute and worth seeing. And, the story is a bit new and creative.
