The Bears and Bees is a Silly Symphonies animated Disney short film. It was released in 1932.

Plot

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.

Home media

The short was released on December 19, 2006, on Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies, Volume Two.

Legacy

As Cubby and Tubby, the two lead cubs made a singular appearance in a 1945 Li'l Bad Wolf comic book story, then received an ongoing comic strip of their own in British Disney comics of the early 1950s.
