J. Audubon Woodlore

J. Audubon Woodlore

Park ranger J. Audubon Woodlore is a character created by The Walt Disney Company who has appreared in the cartoons since the 1950s. He was originally voiced by Bill Thompson. He is the park ranger of "Brownstone National Park" (a play on Yellowstone National Park), one of the features of which is a geyser named "Old Fateful" (a play on Old Faithful).

He first appeared in the 1954 Donald Duck cartoon Grin and Bear It. One year later in Beezy Bear he repeatedly admonishes Humphrey the Bear "You bathe too much!", not realising that the bear is really just hiding in the pond from the bees whose honey he was trying to steal.

Woodlore prides himself of running a tight ship. Despite his somewhat authoritarian attitude he cares about the bears as if they were his children, although he once bamboozled them to clean up the park for him so that he could take a nap in a hammock, by singing the jazzy ditty "In the Bag"::"First you stick a rag, put 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"

Most of the bears are respectful of Woodlore except Humphrey the Bear. J. Audubon Woodlore often lectures Humphrey.

Mr Woodlore's most recent appearance was in an episode of House of Mouse.
