This cartoon is among Walt Disney's earliest--though few today would know about these Alice cartoons--assuming his animation career began with "Steamboat Willie" and Mickey Mouse!
When this Disney cartoon begins, it's VERY obvious it's NOT based that closely on the original story! You find Baby Bear trying to mix up a batch of illegal alcohol (it was during Prohibition after all). The recipe included shellac, paint remover, nails and an old inner tube--but he then realizes he need hops! How he gets hops is pretty cute. Soon, Alice and her cat come onto the scene and Baby Bear and the cat get into a fight. Soon, Mommy and Daddy Bear arrive and things look bad for Alice and the cat. So what happens next? See this one for yourself--it's VERY clever.
