Watch The Bears and Bees For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

One of my all time favorites.

Memorable, crazy movie

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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 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.

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

A Walt Disney SILLY SYMPHONY Cartoon Short.THE BEARS AND THE BEES are enjoying the beautiful Spring day - the bees making honey & the bear cubs eating it - until the arrival of a fierce, cranky male bear threatens to ruin everyone's morning...This black & white cartoon is mostly filled with action/reaction animation and an amazing number of posterior gags.The SILLY SYMPHONIES, which Walt Disney produced for a ten year period beginning in 1929, are among the most fascinating of all animated series. Unlike the Mickey Mouse cartoons in which action was paramount, with the Symphonies the action was made to fit the music. There was little plot in the early Symphonies, which featured lively inanimate objects and anthropomorphic plants & animals, all moving frantically to the soundtrack. Gradually, however, the Symphonies became the school where Walt's animators learned to work with color and began to experiment with plot, characterization & photographic special effects. The pages of Fable & Fairy Tale, Myth & Mother Goose were all mined to provide story lines and even Hollywood's musicals & celebrities were effectively spoofed. It was from this rich soil that Disney's feature-length animation was to spring. In 1939, with SNOW WHITE successfully behind him and PINOCCHIO & FANTASIA on the near horizon, Walt phased out the SILLY SYMPHONIES; they had run their course & served their purpose.
