I'd Love to Take Orders from You is a 1936 Merrie Melodies short directed by Fred Avery.

Plot[]

Father Scarecrow works hard all day in the cornfield. When the much smaller, Junior Scarecrow attempts to fill his father's shoes, his lack of size and intimidation skills render his scare tactics fruitless until, unbeknownst to Junior, Father Scarecrow gets his back. When Junior boasts of his supposed success to Mother Scarecrow, Father reminds son that Junior's not quite grown just yet.

Notes[]

The bed in this short and "Toy Town Hall" look similar.
In a pose reel shown in the documentary Bugs Bunny: Superstar, Avery portrays the little scarecrow trying to scare a large crow eating an ear of corn as depicted in the layout drawings below.
