Comments

From Kacy Shelley : This was one of two shorts aired with "Winnie The Pooh and Christmas, Too". The other one was "The Hockey Champ".

Simply, this one cracked me up. Humphrey really needed that sleep after one of the other bears (forgot the names) "pinched [him]!" I also like when Donald turned the photo frame of the bears around, and it showed their backs.

From Ryan : Humphrey is kicked out of the cave because of his obnoxious snoring. He then seeks refuge in Ranger Donald's cabin. I enjoy this Humphrey cartoon quite a bit even though it has limited animation.

From Trae Robinson : I always remember the part where Donald turns the photo frame over and it shows the bears' backs. I think I haven't seen the ending. I would really like to see this cartoon again anytime soon.

I have seen "Bearly Asleep" and would like to
