This is an old MGM cartoon from 1940(see, they no longer have the animated lion at the beginnings...it's a real lion now). And i searched all over the internet and finally found this video that a YouTube user posted(thanks to tiesdd). And i want to know more about it myself. The cartoon is called 'A rainy day with the bear family'. I do have some comments on the video. The animators must have worked to death making this cartoon, because they paid attention to every little detail they could. Like on the bear family, every little hair is draw out on the bears, which is much like what Harman-Ising did for the first Tom & Jerry cartoon(Puss Gets the Boot). And notice the scene where the father bear is swimming through the torrent of shingles...it's pretty amazing. I mean you can actually see individually drawn shingles falling off the background in a wave sequence. Please watch this and tell me more about this cartoon or just plain throw out your comments.

I'd like to answer you question about the cartoons..
Tom and Jerry looked a lot better because they were on a higher budget and that was when Joe and Will were just an independent group..
When HB was created they had to work with a television budget and all of these cartoons they made weren't ver good..
THEY WERE FOLLOWING QUALITY OVER QUANTITY DON'T YOU SEE?
Each Tom and Jerry cartoon had a budget of about 50,000 dollars and they could draw as many frames as they wanted.
Later cartoons like Yogi Bear didn't have money like that and had to go with a lower amount of frames , known as limited animation.
Could you imagine what Yogi Bear would look like with that kinda money? AWESOME! Especially if they keep the inking the same.
Great to see a site that really appreciates what classic animation is all about. Great stuff!
