Barry may be a monster, but all the woodland animals want to do is smother him in cuddles. Fed up of being smoothed and fluffed, he advertises for someone to take his place. Bear is the obvious candidate, but the rabbits zoom straight past him and throw themselves once more at Barry, toppling him into a filthy swamp. No more cuddles now?
