Grin and Bear It (1954)

In the heart of Brownstone National Park, our favorite feathered friend, Donald Duck, steps onto the verdant terrain. The park's steadfast ranger, J. Audubon Woodlore, beseeches the resident bears to mingle with the tourists, but enforces a strict no-stealing rule. However, the sly bear Humphrey is smitten by Donald's tantalizing roast ham and decides to become his companion, his eyes firmly set on the coveted prize. When Donald refuses to part with his ham, Humphrey resorts to a plethora of tricks to secure the savory snack. His most ingenious scheme involves playing possum, feigning injury on the road to make Donald believe he's responsible. Donald, feeling guilty, compensates with a feast, but he soon uncovers Humphrey's ruse. This sets off a whirlwind of hilarious struggles between the duplicitous bear and the irate duck. The chaos culminates with the ranger ordering the feuding duo to clean up their mess. But the hypnotic allure of the ham is too strong to resist. The ranger, too, attempts to dash away with the ham, only to be reprimanded by an unlikely team - Donald and Humphrey. 'Grin and Bear It' is a delightful whirl of humor and adventure, set amid the scenic backdrop of a national park, where man, bird, and beast all succumb to the irresistible charm of a roast ham.
