Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the final Donald Duck cartoon to feature Spike the Bee (not counting his cameo in the opening title in Beezy Bear and inside a jar).
- GoofsWhen Donald Duck attacks Spikes bee girlfriend. The female bee gets scared and flies away from Donald Duck. In real life however, the female bee would get very aggressive and attack someone threatening them. The girl bee would not be helpless and would've likely retaliate against Donald Duck and sting him before Spike the Bee would get to sting him as well. In the end of the cartoon the bees wife is angry at him which would be enough for her to go sting someone.

LET'S STICK TOGETHER marked the seventh & final film appearance by Buzz-Buzz the Bee (here called Spike) in a Disney cartoon since 1948 - always as an antagonist to Donald. Like the Bootle Beetle before him, his popularity never seemed to really catch fire and he was forced into early retirement at a hive in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Clarence Nash provides Donald with his unique voice; June Foray does the honors for Spike's frightful wife.
Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
