Color: B W
Type: Cartoon
Year: 1930s
Description: B W 1930s Animated cartoon of the early 1930s, featuring a forgotten character, Brownie Bear (or Cubby Bear). It's one of those cartoons with hundreds of bouncy animal characters, but clever and witty - almost certainly a Max and Dave Fleischer production. Cubby and his sweetheart, also a bear, visit a circus magician wander through a springtime landscape of necking animal couples go fishing from a motorboat are chased by a swarm of bees. At 1:09:02, a fish resembling a Hasidic Jew takes a bite of a sandwich, then spits it out, saying, "Oy! Ham!" - but typical of Fleischers, the stereotyping is more affectionate than mean. One little fish character makes an offhanded reference to Sacco and Vanzetti
