Hold That Pose is a 1950 American animatedcartoon produced byWalt Disney Productions and released byRKO Radio Pictures.[1] The film's plot centers onGoofy trying to get a job as a wildlife photographer but ending up causing trouble in agrizzly bear's pen at azoo. This isHumphrey the Bear's debut appearance.
The narrator showsGoofy taking onphotography. Goofy goes to a store to get some cameras and in his basement goes to unload them and insert the film. The narrator explains that there are two types of film:roll film and cut film. When Goofy gets the film all loaded in, the narrator says that he should pick a task such as wildlife watching. Goofy goes to the grizzly bear habitat at a zoo to photographHumphrey the Bear. Slight gags show Goofy to be an inept photographer, waking Humphrey up, putting a cape over Humphrey's head, taking pictures right in his face, and creating a small volcano that blows up on Humphrey. The last straw comes when Goofy takes a picture of Humphrey's dinner with his family. The angered bear chases Goofy out of the zoo, across town, through a stage and back to Goofy's apartment via a taxi (with Humphrey as the driver). The bear chases Goofy up the stairs, and finally into Goofy's apartment and closet where Goofy is mauled. However, Humphrey calms down after Goofy shows him his pictures, and when Humphrey goes on vacation he takes them with himself to show them to tourists.
The short was released on December 2, 2002, onWalt Disney Treasures: The Complete Goofy[2] and on the "Walt Disney's Classic Cartoon Favorites Starring Goofy" Volume 3.
