Comments

A Silly Symphony

From Jerry Edwards : I especially liked how well the short makes you sympathize with the bear cubs after the greedy adult bear chases them away from their food - first the berry bush and then the honey. I still cheer when the adult bear is driven off by the bees, leaving the honey to the cubs. Very nice animation - especially the special effects of the water running in the stream and small waterfall.

I have seen "The Bears and Bees" and would like to
