Alicia I love this movie so much

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

OllieSuave-007 A somewhat cute little cartoon featuring two bear cubs who venture out in search for food and finds a tree stump full of honey. While attempting to get the honey, they try to escape the wrath of a mean bear and bees. A little entertaining and heartfelt - seeing the two bear cubs take care of each other. Grade B-

Robert Reynolds This is a short in the Silly Symphonies series which was produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:Like most of the early Silly Symphonies, this is an essentially plot less cartoon, so for the short to be successful, something has to take the place of a story. This short is successful because the animation is good, the character development is excellent and it's a cute, charming short because you care about the bear cubs.Two bear cubs wake up in a cave and begin to fight, which disturbs a rather mean and larger bear, which growls at them. They leave the cave and a short bit shows them roughhousing, until they find berries, which the larger bear eventually takes over, and then some bees, which lead them to their hive.The cubs start eating honey, which is noted by a bee. The ending is telegraphed a mile away, but the animation is so good that it's still enjoyable even though you know what's going to happen.This short is available on the Disney Treasures More Silly Symphonies DVD set and is well worth tracking down. Recommended.

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) This is an adorable Silly Symphony, and it's one of my favorites from the monochromatic (black and white) era. The short is about two cute bear cubs (who share a passing resemblance to Mickey Mouse), playing in the woods while their mom sleeps. Then they run afoul of mean, grumpy old grizzly, while the innocent little tykes snack on berries. He chases them away and hog the berries for himself. When the cubs came out of hiding, they nibble on some flowers and then found a bee, which they follow to the hive, which they then proceed to raid the honey. But unknown to them, a bee spotted the raid and has summoned the attack squad. And the big bear, sees the cubs' honey-raid, and chases them off. But luckily for the cubs, they ran away, the brunt of the bees' wrath is directed at the old grizzly.So anyway, I love this cute cartoon and I always will; that all I could say.

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney SILLY SYMPHONY Cartoon Short.THE BEARS AND THE BEES are enjoying the beautiful Spring day - the bees making honey & the bear cubs eating it - until the arrival of a fierce, cranky male bear threatens to ruin everyone's morning...This black & white cartoon is mostly filled with action/reaction animation and an amazing number of posterior gags.The SILLY SYMPHONIES, which Walt Disney produced for a ten year period beginning in 1929, are among the most fascinating of all animated series. Unlike the Mickey Mouse cartoons in which action was paramount, with the Symphonies the action was made to fit the music. There was little plot in the early Symphonies, which featured lively inanimate objects and anthropomorphic plants & animals, all moving frantically to the soundtrack. Gradually, however, the Symphonies became the school where Walt's animators learned to work with color and began to experiment with plot, characterization & photographic special effects. The pages of Fable & Fairy Tale, Myth & Mother Goose were all mined to provide story lines and even Hollywood's musicals & celebrities were effectively spoofed. It was from this rich soil that Disney's feature-length animation was to spring. In 1939, with SNOW WHITE successfully behind him and PINOCCHIO & FANTASIA on the near horizon, Walt phased out the SILLY SYMPHONIES; they had run their course & served their purpose.
