Fun and Fancy Free (1947)
Dinah Shore: Dinah Shore - Narrator
Quotes
-
Narrator : This is the story of three bears.
Jiminy Cricket : Yeah, I know. The mama bear, the papa bear, and the itsy-bitsy baby bear.
Narrator : Oh, but it's not the story you expect.
-
Narrator : Poor Bongo. Naturally, you'd think he'd be handled with kid gloves, treated like a king, and pampered like a baby. But, no! He was tossed around like an old shoe. Bongo, the bear in the gilded cage.
-
Narrator : [talking about Bongo] He was a circus bear. He was born in the circus, grew up in the circus, in fact, Bongo was the star of the circus. Why, he could juggle and dance while on a trapeze; walk a tightrope with the greatest of ease. In jujitsu, he was beyond compare; once threw a bull at the county fair; super at wrestling and lifting weights; outboxed the champs of seventeen states. They all packed in from near and far to see this death-defying star. With mouths wide open, they watched his ascent as he daringly climbed to the top of the tent. Then for a grand climax, he would gracefully plunge three hundred feet into a wet sponge.
-
Narrator : It's not a dream. It's a nightmare!
-
Narrator : Bongo was discouraged. A fine kind of bear he turned out to be. He didn't even know how to act like a bear. This rough, rugged stuff wasn't for him, especially on an empty stomach.
-
Narrator : Poor Bongo. Gone were his dreams. His world was shattered. Why hasn't someone ever told him about all of these things that really mattered? And now, well, now it was just too late. He'd never find out that when bears are in love, they always say it with a slap.
-
Narrator : This must be Heaven. It's too good to be true, but let me go right on dreaming as long as I'm with you.
-
Narrator : The call of the wild kept ringing in his ears. He couldn't ignore it any longer. He had to answer to the call of the great open spaces.
-
Narrator : Oh, well. What if I can't climb a tree? This is still the place for a fellow like me. Just lazy, and loafing and fancy free.
