Bah Wilderness

Just from the summary you can probably get a very good sense of what this cartoon is all about. No surprises here -- Barney has no patience for the wild, albeit adorable animals around him, and then gets his comeuppance several times over. The cartoon has no dialog other than a few lines coming out of Barney's radio. But it's still enjoyable to watch, in large part because of the careful way it's animated -- this nighttime wilderness is indeed dark and mysterious, often bathed in blues. Light is cleverly used, keeping some things hidden in the dark until Barney shines his flashlight on them. And the opening sequence, where the camera zooms in on Barney through a 3D forest is just lovely.
