1954 Donald Duck cartoon
Grin and Bear It is a 1954 Disney animated short featuring Donald Duck,[1] It is the third appearance of Humphrey the Bear,[2] and marks the debut of Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore.
Plot
Donald Duck is on his way to Brownstone National Park to have "fun, fun, fun". J. Audubon Woodlore give all the rules like "No Fishing, No Hunting" and gave them the most important rules, Don't Molest the Bear which puzzled Donald. After the visitors left, the park ranger gathers all the bears and assigns each of them to associate with a park visitor and told them about the fundraisers; however, last year, Woodlore told the bears that he has a complaints because somebody tried to steal. The bears looked at Humphrey the Bear in disapproval, "Shame!". J. Audubon gave a warning to the bears that if any bear(s) is caught doing some serious crimes like stealing. Woodlore would give the bear(s) "the supreme penalty" (i.e., being executed and made into a bearskin rug), much to the bears' horror. The ranger let them have fun. When all the bears pick their visitor, Humphrey is stuck with Donald. At first, he attempts to earn some of Donald's food by dancing but to no avail. He does earn Donald's attention when helping him set up his picnic and assorting his sandwiches for him, but goes unrewarded. Humphrey finally helps himself to some of Donald's food, mistakenly swallowing a hot red pepper, and cools down by drinking from a nearby waterfall. Donald then leaves the park, so Humphrey follows Donald out onto the road, draws a tire mark on himself, and makes Donald believe he ran him over. Donald gives Humphrey his food, but soon realizes he has been tricked. Donald then calls for the ranger, and he and Humphrey fight with each other and drop all the food on the road, and the ranger assigns them to clean it up. In the process, the ranger tries to steal the ham, but gets caught out by Donald and Humphrey, who shake their fingers at him to remind him that stealing is prohibited. J. Audubon Woodlore chuckled like Humphrey would.[3]
