Description:
In the early 1930s, Mickey Mouse was the king of cartoons and every studio attempted to capture some of the same success. The Van Beuren Studio chose Cubby Bear, who appeared in 20 cartoons between 1933 and 1934.

Presented here are all 20 cartoons, including one that was never released.
