Short description
Jiminy Cricket hosts two Disney animated shorts: Bongo about a circus bear escaping to the wild, and Mickey and the Beanstalk, a take on the famous fairy tale.
What's left behind the scenes
- Between 1941 and 1947, the film was in what was known as 'production hell,' due to complex relationships between Walt Disney Studios on one hand, and the United States government and the military on the other. When the US entered World War II, various government agencies commissioned Walt Disney Studios to create training and propaganda films for military personnel and the general public. As a result, some projects already underway were shelved, and by 1942, 90% of the studio's employees (a total of 550 people) were working on war-themed films.
- Both parts of the film were shot separately as two independent feature-length projects, but due to the difficulties of the post-war period, Walt Disney (1901-1966) decided to combine them.
- Edgar Bergen (1903-1978) was one of the most popular ventriloquists in the 1940s, and even had his own radio show. After watching the film, he was upset by how visible his lip movements were and stated that working in cinema had ruined him (in the sense that he wouldn't have allowed himself to do so on the radio).
