The Lion's Busy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lion's Busy is a seven minute Looney Tunes cartoon released in 1950 by Friz Freleng. It features Leo the Lion, Beaky Buzzard, and a cameo appearance of Bugs Bunny. The title is another play on a telephone line, as with the earlier entry, Hold the Lion, Please. Leo the Lion (who previously had appeared in Hold the Lion, Please) returns, however Leo is much smarter in this cartoon and talks with an Irish/Scottish accent.

[edit] Synopsis

Leo the Lion and his friends are celebrating his tenth birthday during which Beaky reads in a book that lions generally do not live longer than ten years. The ensuing animated sequence centers around Beaky attempting to eat the lion. In conclusion, Leo takes a rocket to the moon where Beaky is waiting for him but they have both become so old that they can only eat marshmallows.
