In late 2017, this short became [[MemeticMutation popular on the internet]] for a Website/{{Twitter}} tweet with a clip (later uploaded to Website/YouTube) of Papa Bear's "SOMEBODY TOUCH-A MY SPAGHETT'!" line. Admit it, [[WatchItForTheMeme that's what you're here for]].

Alphabetizing example(s)


* FracturedFairyTale: The hunter even lampshades what an atypical retelling of the story this is by saying "Well, I guess this ain't in the book!" when he corners the bears. Overall the bears aren't fantastic beasts but rather more akin to modest Italian immigrants, Goldilocks is changed from a villain/victim to a hero, and the only ones who get hurt are new villains (the Hunter and his dog) added to this version specifically. The villains also add a short story conflict and action scene after the original tale would've ended.
* FurIsClothing: The hunter demands Papa and Baby to take off their fur. They do so, revealing that they wear Victorian style long-john underwear underneath.

Added DiffLines:

* RambunctiousItalian: The bears are given stereotypical Italian accents and mannerisms and are often shown arguing amongst each other. Papa Bear in particular is a LargeHam, freaking out when he finds that Goldilocks tasted his pasta.

* FacePalm: Papa does this a few times, most notably when he sees [[MemeticMutation somebody touched his spaghetti]].

Changed this since the line isn't delivered THAT hammily...

correcting spelling of "spaghett"! (Sources vary as to whether it should have one T or two, but it shouldn't have an E on the end.)

* FracturedFairyTale: A lot of the narrative is changed from its 19th century origins to a more 1930's depiction. The bears aren't fantastic beasts but rather more akin to modest Italian immigrants, Goldilocks is changed from a villain/victim to a hero, and the only ones who get hurt are new villains (the Hunter and his dog) added to this version specifically. The villains also add a short story conflict and action scene after the original tale would've ended.

Added DiffLines:

* BigDamnHeroes: Goldilocks to the bears. Thanks to her cunning (and surprising penchant for violence), she ends up being the reason the bears even survive the Hunter.


Added DiffLines:

* DancePartyEnding: After the Hunter is defeated, the family and goldilocks celebrate this way with Baby on horn, Goldilocks on violin, Mama on piano, and Papa on the dance floor.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Slapstick}}: The fight with the Hunter is this. Goldilocks, Baby, Mama, and Papa all get in a blow or two at the Hunter as he is practically punted around the room before rolling out the door in a drum he was smashed into and being drug away, unconscious, by his dog. As expected of a cartoon of this era; the carnage is completely bloodless and the physics are completely unrealistic.
* WouldHurtAChild: The Hunter takes the fur not just from Papa, but Baby Bear too, and the Hunter shows sadistic glee in doing so.

''The Three Bears'' is a cartoon short released by Creator/{{Terrytoons}} in [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1939]].[[note]]Interestingly enough, [[OlderThanTheyThink this was not Terrytoons' first adaptation of the story]]. They previously did a 1934 black and white version with an AmbiguouslyGay radio announcer as the narrator. Also, the bears' chairs are [[AnimateInanimateObject alive]] (making it all the more [[NightmareFuel disturbing]] when Goldilocks breaks the little one), and Goldilocks herself [[AdaptationSpeciesChange is a]] [[ViewerSpeciesConfusion dog or sheep]] for some reason.[[/note]]
