hi all, i am new to the forum and have had a burning question...i am trying to find out the name of my fav disney short as a child and where to find it to share with my young niece who is also a huge disney fan like me...i know after doing lots of research that its between donalds "grin and bear it" and "hooked bear"...i only remember that it places at a resort and there is something with rainbow trout jumping into a trough...i think one of these has to be it!!! has anyone seen this and where can i find EACH of these??? PLEASE HELP this has been burning in my mind for some time now and i just want to share my fav disney memories with my niece!!! Thank you so much for any posts!!! PS i love Humphrey bear!

Hooked Bear is available on Walt Disney Treasures - Disney Rarities it will likely be a couple of years before we see Grin and Bear it in the form of a Treasure or Legacy Series release as it will be part of the last Volume of Donald cartoons.

does anyone know which one it is though??? anyone recognize the rainbow trout in a trough??? and lots of boats crammed in a lake too i think??? its driving me nuts!

I'm pretty sure it's "Hooked Bear" as that actually involves Humphrey, a lake, and fishing. Also, the description of the short from Disney Shorts as well as the UD review help support it.

Yes, it is "Hooked Bear." It features a scene where Ranger Woodlore is stocking the lake. When he throws a bucket of rainbow trout into the lake, they form a rainbow as they arc into the water. I have a screenshot from the scene on my site here : http://disneyshorts.org/years/1956/hookedbear.html

i do believe it is hooked bear!!! ty for the screen shots as it brings me back to childhood...i will now buy the disney rarities dvd to share it with others and my niece...thank you all for your support!

Hi QueenRahel is it ok if I give descriptions of a short that I saw years a go as a child? I don't think it's Disney.

sure go ahead and im sure all of us will do our best to help you out to find it!!!! just describe as much as you can!

Ok, I saw this short years ago. I'm dying to see it again and maybe find it on dvd someday. It's two orphan's a boy and girl. I think they're collecting fire wood and then they go home to eat. They split a piece of bread and then when they fisnish it, they're still starving and they're mother starts to cry. When they were collecting fire wood a butcher, ice cream man and a candy shopman ( i think) were gonna give them some of they're goods. But then they're gone. I think they fall asleep and dream that they're in a cany land, they go on a chocolate horse carousel. Then when they wake up they find them selves in piles of food and treats, which are gifts from the three shop owners. That's about all I remember. I wanna see this short so bad. Hope someone can help.

Do you guys know of any dvd's that contain uncut/un-edited shorts besides Disney's? I'm a huge fan of Betty Boop and Little Lulu.

wow thats a tough one...i did some research and found nothing that sounds animated with two poor orphans, do you have any idea what era its from???

Ok, I had it on vhs a long time ago. I probably still have it in my possesion, but have no clue where it could be. It came in one of those vhs that includes other random shorts. I honestly have no clue what era, I'm assuming 1930-1940. It's such a heart warming short, it's such a shame nobody here knows the title. There was alos another short in there that I really liked. It was of these two just married flies that go to a hotel, the owner's a conniving spider who secretly wants to eat them. It's a nice short. There was also a little lulu one where she wants to get on a train, but her ticket was expired. There's a scene where she disguises herself as a black face character.

Back to the Orpahn short. The characters are a boy and a girl, their mother and three shop owners. Hope this helps ( which i doubt).

i have looked everywhere and not sure....sorry i will keep trying...and will keep u updated of questionable things i find but so far only thing familiar is 3 orphan kittens but i know its not it...

It's real nice of you to take the time and search for this short. I don't want you to work yourself either. Perhaps it's not popular.
