A Bear For Punishment

A Bear for Punishment is a 1951 animated Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon released in 1951, featuring The Three Bears. That was the last cartoon of The Three Bears series. It was directed by Chuck Jones. The DVD extras for this cartoon include Stan Freberg reminiscing about the cartoon and reciting part of Junior Bear's poem, "My Pa", in the bear's voice; a clip of Chuck Jones stating that Papa Bear's growling, "I HATE breakfast in bed!" was taken from his own experience as a father when his children would try to serve him on Father's Day. The march, "Father", performed by Junior and Ma, is a special vocal written to the tune of "Frat", a long-standing Warner cartoon staple.
