Billy Boy
Directed by Tex Avery
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A lighthearted, frenetic cartoon comedy about a farmer's escalating chaos with an impossibly voracious pet goat, built entirely on slapstick absurdity and playful meta-humor.
A deep south farmer is initially delighted to get a baby goat, but this soon turns to apprehension when he discovers that it eats literally anything (including, at one point, the animation artwork).
