Watch This: Hooked Bear – 1956 Disney Short

The 50’s saw the end of Disney’s theatrical animated shorts, but the decade still had some gems, and a lot of them are permanently ingrained in my nostalgia. I had a lot of Disney shorts on VHS, CED, and watched them on The Disney Channel growing up.

In some ways the 50’s shorts were something new. Television had entered the picture, and new characters were being introduced. Humphrey Bear and Ranger Woodlore were two characters introduced around then. Hooked Bear was a favorite of mine growing up, and I hadn’t had the chance to watch in in a long time until recently, when I realized I owned it on the Walt Disney Treasures – Disney Rarities set.

Random SMC Connection – Hooked Bear was on the Kids Pics Happy Hampster VHS tape I wrote about not too long ago.
