    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The confrontation scene between Barney and the beaver colony has characteristics of both Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and FrankensteinFrankenstein (1931), with a patriotic twist (the US was in the early years of WW2, after all). Surprisingly, the ominous looking hangman's noose got past the censors.
    • Goofs
      Neither the bear nor the beavers leave any footprints when they walk in the snow. The bear leaves footprints only when the beavers notice that their community firewood supply is gone, and the beavers leave footprints only when they surround the bears house.
