That was an excellent one.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

One of the best Humphrey Bear shorts along with Rugged Bear and it makes me sad how under-appreciated Humphrey is. If you love cute and funny characters, Humphrey is both to a tee, and the way he's treated makes you feel sympathy for him as well. In the Bag perfectly and naturally shows Humphrey's cute and funny traits and you also feel sympathetic towards him as well. The other bears deserve a mention too, their expressions and how they act are worth laughs of their own and they are done really expressively in the animation. Ranger Woodlore is a good foil and is very well and distinctively voiced by Bill Thompson but the bears steal the show here. Speaking of the animation, it was wonderful and very crisp and colourful throughout. There is much detail to be seen and the colours are quite rich here too. The music is very characterful and always matches the action very well, the orchestration lush without being syrupy. In the Bag is a hilarious short too which makes one forget the slightly formulaic story, the gags do revolve around one thing- Humphrey trying and struggling to clean up the park- but never are they repetitive and they do have variety. Thanks to Humphrey and the clever timing they are hilarious and is one of the more consistent Humphrey Bear shorts in this respect. There is a great amount of charm and warmth here as well. All in all, a winner in every way. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I love Disney's Humphrey the Bear. He was a cute character from the 1950s that starred in a half dozen films--ones I loved to watch whenever they were shown on television. Why? Because they are fun--something some cartoons forget.The ranger is sad--all the tourists have left the park a mess. Instead of cleaning it himself, he comes up with a plan--to con the bears into thinking cleaning up is some sort of game! He divides up the property like a ball field and sings the bears a catchy tune--and they dance about cleaning litter. Seeing the silly bears dancing about is pretty cute--but it gets even better once the bears realize they've been had! So what is the poor ranger to do? He obviously needs to come up with a better plan--one that involves Chicken Cacciatore! Why did I like this cartoon (other than the fact that it has a catchy song)? Well, the bears were so adorable and expressive--possibly the best ones I've ever seen in a cartoon. And, on top of that, it's very funny. Well worth your time--and one of the better Disney shorts of the era.

This was the last cartoon produced by Disney's shorts unit before it closed down (although afterwards, the studio's feature animators would make one or two shorts a year, when they had the time, at least until Walt Disney's death). It's fitting that it was made by the studio's greatest director, Jack Hannah. By Hannah's standards it's good but not outstanding - which means that by other standards it IS outstanding. It's only the second cartoon to star Humphrey B. Bear (incidentally, that name was later adopted by an insipid man-in-a-bear-suit fixture of Australian children's television, which is an insult - I don't know why Disney let them get away with it), a character Hannah introduced as a supporting player in the 1953 Donald Duck cartoon, "Rugged Bear". (Of the six cartoons in which Humphrey appears the first of them is the only one I haven't seen. It was nominated for an Oscar, not that that means anything.) Humphrey is an inspired character. Like all of Hannah's creations he has adult human intelligence, give or take, but is beast, not man, at heart. He is the greatest of all animated bears.These days "In the Bag" is mainly used as a way of letting children know that they should tidy up after themselves, but put its dubious propaganda value to one side: it's a first-class, charmingly dotty, very funny piece of animation.

I saw this when I was about 3 years old. This was the only way my mother could get me to pick up my toys. We'd do the whole song and dance every couple of hours. So very cool that they can use cartoons to send positive messages, like "Be neat and clean up after yourself." If you can, find a copy for yourself.
