Two different animated stories produced by the Disney studios in Fun and Fancy Free. ‘Bongo‘ is based on a children’s story by Sinclair Lewis, sung by Dinah Shore. It tells the tale of a lonely circus bear who finds love in the wilderness. ‘Mickey and the Beanstalk‘, featuring live-action sequences, casts Mickey Mouse (voice of Walt Disney), Donald Duck (Clarence Nash) and Goofy (Pinto Colvig) in a variant of the familiar tale. The trio climb a magic beanstalk in an attempt to rescue a singing harp.
