CinemaSerf6 Jul 11, 2025“Barney” ought to have known better than to have opened his door during his hibernating season, for when he does he finds he has been invited to his military medical. The only thing is, the telegram is disguised as something altogether friendlier and so off he sets replete with fishing rod and tennis racquets. No sooner does her arrive than he is introduced to some of the weaponry of war before being prodded and poked, weighed, measured and finally - despite his paunch and flat feet, it seems that they might want him after all! Ahh, but then the crackling fire wakens him from his slumbers. Has it all been a dream, or…? It’s a fun animation that does it’s bit for army recruitment- though for or against is maybe a bit moot, and “Barney” proves to be an amiable conduit for some nicely drawn antics that should make sure he never opens another telegram in his life!
