Walt Disney 's final theatrical cartoon short subject. It was released in 1956 byRKO Radio Pictures and directed byJack Hannah .The film features park ranger
J. Audubon Woodlore and his comedic foilHumphrey the Bear .Plot
Tourists have departed the national park where Humphrey lives, leaving trash everywhere. The lazy park ranger gets the resident bears to "put it in the bag," by singing and dancing to a lively song. The bears happily collect the trash, bouncing and jouncing until they discover the ranger's trick. Angrily they dump their bags of refuse on the ground. The ranger prepares some chicken
cacciatore , but will not give it to the bears unless they clean up their sections of the park. All of the bears move their garbage into Humphrey's section. Humphrey attempts to conceal the garbage under a bush. Next, he tries to burn it, only to be confronted bySmokey Bear ! (The scene with Smokey was edited at one time, but it has been reinstated in later showings.) Finally, Humphrey puts all of the trash into a geyser, causing it to spout garbage everywhere. Humphrey never gets his chicken cacciatore, and continues to clean up the park.In The Bag song
The catchy tune featured in "In the Bag" was so popular that Disney released it on a commercial record, "The Humphrey Hop." The lyrics are as follows:
:First you stick a rag, put it in the bag, bump-bump,:Then you bend your back, put it in the sack, bump-bump,:That's the way it's done - it's a lot of fun, bump-bump,:Cuttin' capers, puttin' papers in the bag.
