It was created by Avery for Creator/{{Paramount}} as part of a short-lived series called ''Speaking of Animals''. This, the first film of the series, involves an unseen farmer introducing the audience to the various animals on the farm. Unlike almost everything else Avery did in his career, the film is mostly live-action. As the farmer introduces us to each animal, however, their mouths are animated, and they talk English. This is the framework for a series of gags that include a ferret on a wheel complaining about the monotony, a cow that says "I'm ticklish!" as she's milked, and other jokes.
