BONGO is one of the two middling-sized short-subjects (a three-reeler, in this case), edited from Disney's FUN AND FANCY FREE. The story, basically a silent about a circus bear who escapes to the wild and finds true love, is narrated by Dinah Shore, with three songs by her, is, as always with Disney's cartoons, technically perfect, but it is clearly aimed at small children.

Disney was, at this point, distracted by a multitude of projects, including trying to get back into production after wartime work, thinking about starting up Disneyland and preparing for 1950s Cinderella, so the story is told in a straightforward fashion. It lacks much of interest for adults.
