Goofs
Barney Bear's nephew complains that the house is too hot, yet he leaves his hat and scarf on. However, as with many other cartoon characters (e.g., Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Top Cat), the hat and scarf are his attire; if he took them off, he'd be nude.

simple Barney Bear

Barney Bear's hibernation is interrupted by his polar bear nephew from the North Pole. It's too warm for the nephew to go the sleep. It's a very simple Barney Bear premise and execution. It's a standard Barney Bear problem. Someone is keeping him from hibernation. It's interesting to have a polar bear nephew although they should definitely give him a name. He needs a name in case he could be a recurring character. This is generally fine.
