Warner Bros Cartoon Qu: A squirrel trying to crack a coconut.

This is one of my favourite cartoons from my youth about a greedy squirrel. Does anyone know the name of it so I can find it on you tube perhaps?





The squirrel starts with peanuts and then walnuts, and brazil nuts until he finds a coconut, which he trys to crack open without success. In the end it opens to reveal another coconut.
