Sittin' on a Backyard Fence was another Schlesinger Merrie Melodies short from the early Warner Bros. cartoon years
This was a Merrie Melodies cartoon short from Leon Schlesinger incorporating a song owned by the Warner Bros. publishing company with its title being the one here. It involves a couple of male cats fighting for the love of one female feline. Loved scenes of the cats' skeletons appearing when they cross a full moon, some sequences involving a rolling pin and telephone wires, the male cats' fight with a bulldog, and the final scene. This early short was directed by Earl Duvall who helmed some bland Buddy cartoons after Harmon-Ising left Schlesinger and took Bosko with them to M-G-M. Worth a look for animation buffs, this was on Daily Motion.
