J. Audubon Woodlore

Woodlore

The great Disney blog 2719 Hyperion has a wonderful post about one of my favorite overlooked Disney characters J. Audubon Woodlore, the park ranger. I fell in love with him as a kid when I saw the classic “In The Bag”, where he makes up a little song and dance to convince the bears to clean up the park. Apparently In The Bag was such a hit that it inspired a record called the “Humphrey Hop.”

Disney Rarities

The short is available on a Disney DVD called Disney Rarities. Check out 2719 Hyperion’s overview of this great oft-forgotten Disney character.
UPDATE: I need to remember to search Youtube before making any post. In The Bag is on Youtube right now. I’m not sure how long it will be on there, but for now, enjoy!

    I LOVE the J. Audubon Woodlore Disney shorts. When I got to name my very first pair of servers ten years ago (!), I named them woodlore (development) and humphrey (production).

    I’ve been itching to get this DVD; now the time has come to go out and get it, in a tonight kind of way.
