I'm not sure what cartoon Mr. Les Adams described in the plot summary above, but the one I remember is very different! Amusing, heartwarming and memorable, the story of Spunky Donkey who meets a carousel horse (actually a mare) called Marilyn. She springs to life and of course, Spunky is smitten by her beauty. Even better, she has feelings for him too! After a while, they start spending time together at the carnival and even share a kiss after an 'accident' at the bumper car ride. However, trouble ensues and they are separated. Spunky is devastated but soon discovers Marilyn is now part of an allegoric car at a local parade so he hops onto the car and joins her again as they intertwine their tails lovingly. Maybe a bit surreal for the kiddies but still entertaining and with a quite satisfactory ending, one of my favorite Harveytoon cartoons and highly recommendable to watch.
