Synopsis

Two bear cubs tussle harmlessly, then start to munch on a berry bush, until a bigger, meaner bear chases them off. They nibble some flowers and find a bee, which they follow to the hive, which they then proceed to raid. The big bear chases them off, but unknown to him, a bee spotted the raid and has summoned the attack squad. The bees run him off, and the cubs dig in.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
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.
MartinHafer This is another one of Disney's Silly Symphonies--a series of short films that did not feature the familiar Disney characters but new ones (mostly animals) that moved to the rhythm of the musical score. This particular example is in black & white--later ones were color."The Bears and the Bees" is an awfully simple but awfully cute film. It features two adorable bear cubs who happen upon a been hive. They are having a great time--not realizing that a mean adult bear is coming. But, before they can become a snack for the big bear, the bees come back to defend their hive--and deliver a butt-whipping to the big bear.Overall, one of the better shorts of the series, as it relies less on cute dancing and more on an honest to goodness story.
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.
