Wow!!!! I just got Boomerang again after about 5 years. I only had to move a mile down the road and ended up with Charter so I was happy to see they have it on their lineup. So Monday night or Tuesday night I noticed this Short played which I had not seen in years. I laughed so hard it was nice to see an old classic like this put in to rotation.

If you’re not familiar with this one it’s about a Bear that falls asleep for the winter and all of sudden the world around gets built around him. So when he wakes up everyone thinks he is a “silly man who needs to shave and wears a fur coat.” Suppose it was based on an old story which I never read before but this was so cute and funny.

This cartoon is based on a children's book written by Warner Bros. animation legend, Frank Tashlin. The cartoon was one of two non-Tom & Jerry shorts that Chuck Jones made while he was at MGM. Tashlin wasn't exactly pleased with the way Jones adapted his story into a cartoon.
