Looney TV: The Bee-Deviled Bruin (1949)

Warner Bros. thought they had something after adapting Goldilocks & The Three Bears into a Bugs Bunny short, with Bugs subbing for Goldilocks, in 1944.

However, it took a couple of years before they began a Three Bears series. In the pentultimate short, "The Bee-Deviled Bruin", Mel Blanc is only heard providing the vocal effects for the bees. Billy Bletcher voices Henry, Bea Benaderet is Mama, and Stan Freberg is dimwitted Junior, seven years old, and about as sharp as a broken jar of honey.



The above video is a Blue Ribbon reissue.

Rating: A-.
