Synopsis:


In this Noveltoon short, the oversized but naïve duckling Baby Huey waddles onto a tranquil farmyard, eager to make friends with the resident bears. His boundless enthusiasm and comical clumsiness—toppled fences, runaway wheelbarrows, and accidental haystack explosions—lead to a series of slapstick mishaps. Despite the initial chaos, the kindly Bear family comes to appreciate Huey’s good heart, culminating in a rollicking farmyard dance that unites the unlikely friends.
