Wiki.

The Lion's Busy is a 1950 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon written by Tedd Pierce and directed by Friz Freleng. It features Leo the Lion (who had previously appeared in Hold the Lion, Please) and Beaky Buzzard (who had previously appeared in Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid and The Bashful Buzzard), both voiced by Mel Blanc.

This cartoon is the first time Blanc voices Beaky due to Kent Rogers' death in 1944, and the final appearance of Leo the Lion from Looney Tunes cartoons until Tweety's High-Flying Adventure in 2000. It is also Beaky's only appearance in which he is smarter than his opponent rather than dumber.

The cartoon itself sometimes appears on public domain and grey market VHS and DVDs, however, the cartoon is actually still copyrighted.
