The Bears and the Bees Trailers

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.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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-

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.

What I loved about Bears and Bees was its cuteness and its simplicity. The black and white animation is very very good, and the music is just terrific. While it is plot less, it is very simple, and that actually added to the silly symphony's charm. The characters were very appealing; the big bear is certainly very ferocious. But the baby bears are simply adorable, and I shed a tear when they started crying. And the bees were funny; I do confess I am terrified of bees and wasps, in real life I freak out at the sight of them. However, I can't help love Bears and Bees, then again there may be a sense of bias, because I adore Silly Symphonies, especially the Christmas ones, that were part of my childhood. All in all, if you love Silly Symphonies, see this gem. You will not be disappointed. 10/10 Bethany Cox

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.
