Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

OllieSuave-007 In this cartoon short, Humphrey the Bear gets to join his fellow bears to clean the park up of the trash that tourists have left behind. Ranger Woodlore enlists the bears to clean up by turning the task into a game and dance and awards those who have completed the clean-up with food. So, Humphrey gets into a mad dash to try to get rid of all the trash and get his deserved share of the food prize.It's an interesting cartoon short with lots of unique singing and dancing, with colorful animation and jazzy-sounded music. It's a nice one from my childhood that I remember fondly of.Grade B

wcsmith4 This is my absolute favorite Disney Character. In The Bag is one of a few Humphrey cartoons that I loved as a kid. Humphrey and friends,are hilarious!! The bear characters' expressive faces are incredibly funny. The idiotic look on the bears' faces when they come to the realization they've been duped by the ranger...Just priceless. This cartoon is really the first Road Runner/Wylie Cayote scenario. Humphrey is always after food (remember the honey and fish in the Donald Duck/Humphrey cartoon?), and is always starving. But Humphrey, ever on the verge of a feast, never gets to eat. Poor bear... I saw all of his cartoons as a kid and watched them again with my girls when they were little. They still sing the song... first you pick it up put it in the bag; bump, bump.

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney HUMPHREY THE BEAR Cartoon.The Little Ranger comes up with a sneaky plan to trick Humphrey & the Brownstone Bears into putting all the tourist litter IN THE BAG.This funny little film was the final theatrical appearance by both Humphrey the Bear & Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore; although their cartoons had provided lots of laughs during the 1950's Disney now retired them permanently to Brownstone Park. The cartoon's title tune is a fine piece of swing music and is a good example of the care Disney took with providing just the right music for his projects. Watch for a cameo appearance by a Very Important Bear with a Very Important Message. Bill Thompson provides the Little Ranger with his puffy voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a storm of naysayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.

Spleen This was the last cartoon produced by Disney's shorts unit before it closed down (although afterwards, the studio's feature animators would make one or two shorts a year, when they had the time, at least until Walt Disney's death). It's fitting that it was made by the studio's greatest director, Jack Hannah. By Hannah's standards it's good but not outstanding - which means that by other standards it IS outstanding. It's only the second cartoon to star Humphrey B. Bear (incidentally, that name was later adopted by an insipid man-in-a-bear-suit fixture of Australian children's television, which is an insult - I don't know why Disney let them get away with it), a character Hannah introduced as a supporting player in the 1953 Donald Duck cartoon, "Rugged Bear". (Of the six cartoons in which Humphrey appears the first of them is the only one I haven't seen. It was nominated for an Oscar, not that that means anything.) Humphrey is an inspired character. Like all of Hannah's creations he has adult human intelligence, give or take, but is beast, not man, at heart. He is the greatest of all animated bears.These days "In the Bag" is mainly used as a way of letting children know that they should tidy up after themselves, but put its dubious propaganda value to one side: it's a first-class, charmingly dotty, very funny piece of animation.
