Albert Bertino surnommé Al Bertino est un animateur et scénariste américain, né le 15 juillet 1912 en Californie, et décédé le 18 août 1996 à Los Angeles (États-Unis). Au sein des studios Disney, il a exercé le métier d'animateur, de scénariste et d'imagineer.

Biography

Al Bertino est né le 15 juillet 1912 en Californie.

En 1935, il commence une carrière d'animateur. Il aurait participé à Pinocchio et Fantasia mais son poste n'est alors pas connu et n'est ni présent au générique ni recensé par IMDb sur ces films. Sa première participation connue au sein des studios Disney est le court métrage Pluto soldat en 1943. Il anime ensuite quelques courts métrages.

Dans le court métrage Hockey Homicide (1945) les joueurs de Hockey, toutes des incarnations de Dingo, portent des noms de membres des studios Disney. Bertino, surnommé "Ice Box Bertino" fait partie avec "Fearless Ferguson" (d'après Norman Ferguson) d'un gag de répétition dans lequel les deux joueurs se disputent tellement qu'ils font des aller-retour en prison. Toutefois rien n'atteste d'une quelconque animosité entre les deux animateurs.

Au printemps 1951, il change de métier et devient scénariste. Il écrit alors le scénario de Plutopia. À partir de 1956, il scénarise des épisodes de la série télévisée Disneyland et ce jusqu'en 1968. Mais cet emploi ne l'occupe pas totalement et il diversifie ses activités.

À la fin des années 1950, il est travaille pour la société WED Entreprises, associée aux studios Disney, mais concevant et réalisant les parcs d'attractions. Il y écrit le scénario de l'attraction Country Bear Jamboree, prévue à l'origine pour le centre de villégiature de Disney's Mineral King Ski Resort mais finalement construite en 1971 au Magic Kingdom (Floride). On le retrouve aussi sur la conception des attractions Mr. Toad's Wild Ride et Haunted Mansion. Le gros ours de l'attraction Country Bear Jamboree est nommée Big Al est une auto-caricature de Bertino.

À partir de 1959, il quitte Disney. Chez United Productions of America (UPA), il retrouve Dick Kinney, autre scénariste de Disney parti dès 1956 chez Walter Lantz et ayant rejoint UPA en 1957. Ils travaillent tous deux sur la série de Mister Magoo.

En 1965, Bertino écrit le scénario de Highway Runnery pour Warner Bros puis rejoint le Famous Studios. Entre 1967 et 1968, il est scénarise sur la série L'Homme-araignée. Lorsqu'il travaillait chez Hanna-Barbera sur la série Jappy et Pappy toutou, le personnage de Augie a été nommé d'après son fils Augustine.

Bertino a pris sa retraite en 1977 et est mort le 18 août 1996 à Los Angeles. En 1986, il a reçu un Golden Award de la Motion Picture Screen Cartoonists Awards.

Fishing season has begun and park ranger J. Audubon Woodlore goes out on the lake to check on the anglers. Humphrey the Bear is trying to catch some fish, but cannot seem to hold onto one once he catches it. Woodlore sees the fish disappearing before his eyes, so he decides to stock the lake some more. As he heads to the fish hatchery, he sees Humphrey with a few fishing nets and rods, and asks him what he is doing. When the bear tells him that he is going to catch some fish, Woodlore takes the rods and nets and tells him to "Go fish like a bear!" At the hatchery, Woodlore fills a tub with water and inserts some fish eggs into it. In a matter of seconds, several fishes pop up out of the water like plants out of soil. When the ranger gets to the lake to dump the fish, he finds Humphrey in there, trying to eat one of the small fishes, which is then consumed by a much larger fish. Humphrey manages to remove the small fish from the mouth of the large fish, and then uses it to lure five other large fishes that jump out of the water, but then Woodlore appears to measure the fish, while at the same time punishing Humphrey by hitting him on the head, causing him to sink into the depths of the lake. When Humphrey grabs some more fish and emerges from the lake, he discovers a fish larger than any of the others; this turns out to be a fish balloon with which a young boy is playing. Humphrey pops the balloon, and both the boy and Woodlore kick the bear in the knee. Humphrey then tries to think of another way to foil the anglers; noticing the boy from before walking along the lake with a toy boat, he removes the bottom from the boat, ties it onto his head like a hat, and then submerges himself into the lake so that the hat looks like a shark fin to the anglers, causing them to flee in terror. Humphrey then takes all of the anglers' bags of fish, but upon seeing the ranger, he loads the fish into Woodlore's helicopter, giving him more of a full load than he was expecting. He then decides to stuff himself into the plane, which proves to be too small for him and the fish, and then all of the fish in the helicopter, along with Humphrey, are deposited into the lake. Woodlore then gets a telephone call from the chief of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, who tells him to quit stocking the lake, as fishing season had ended the previous day. The ranger then takes out his scissors and cuts the rods of various anglers, and then locates Humphrey and informs him that fishing season is over. He then paints a red X over the "Fishing Season" sign and flips it over to reveal the message "Hunting Season Open." At this, Humphrey gets hunted, with shots firing at him from all directions, and running about as the cartoon closes.

Tourists have departed Brownstone National Park where Humphrey lives, leaving trash everywhere. The park ranger initially starts to pick it up himself, but then decides that he shouldn't have to do it because he is the boss. He then calls Humphrey and the other resident bears and asks them to "put it in the bag", while singing and dancing to a catchy song. The bears happily collect the trash, bouncing and jouncing until they discover the ranger's actual motivation. With Humphrey dropping the ranger into a garbage can, the bears angrily dump their bags of refuse on the ground. Realizing that he should at least reward the bears for their assistance, the ranger prepares some chicken cacciatore, but says that he will only give it to the bears on the condition that they clean up their sections of the park. All of the bears then move their garbage into one section, leaving Humphrey to clean it all up himself. He does this quickly by stuffing the garbage into a bag, but as he is returning to receive his dinner, the bag gets caught on the twig of a tree stump and rips apart, letting the garbage out. The ranger then gives him a new bag and Humphrey follows the garbage down the line all the way to a cliff, but falls off as the puts the last scrap in the bag. Next, he attempts to conceal the garbage under a bush, but the bush turns out to be the home of a rabbit, who disgustedly pushes it back out. Humphrey then tries to burn the garbage with a match, but is stopped by Smokey the Bear, who reminds him that "only you can prevent forest fires". Finally, Humphrey puts all of the trash into a hollow stump, which is actually a geyser named "Ol' Fateful". The ranger prepares to reward Humphrey with a dish full of cacciatore, but before Humphrey can take it, the geyser suddenly erupts, spouting the garbage everywhere, resulting in Humphrey having to start all over again at cleaning up the park.

Donald Duck is on his way to Brownstone National Park to have "fun, fun, fun". Meanwhile, the park ranger gathers all the bears and assigns each of them to associate with a park visitor; any bear who commits a crime in the park will suffer "the supreme penalty" (i.e., being executed and made into a bearskin rug). When all the bears pick their visitor, Humphrey is stuck with Donald. At first, he makes an attempt to earn some of Donald's food by dancing but to no avail. He does earn Donald's attention when helping him set up his picnic and assorting his sandwiches for him, but goes unrewarded when it seems so. Humphrey finally tries to snitch some of Donald's food, mistakingly swallowing a hot red pepper, and cools down by drinking from a nearby waterfall. Donald then leaves the park, so Humphrey follows Donald out onto the road, draws a tire mark on himself, and makes Donald believe he ran him over. Donald gives Humphrey his food, but soon realizes he has been tricked. Donald then calls for the ranger, and he and Humphrey fight with each other and drop all the food on the road, and the ranger assigns them to clean it up. In the process, the ranger tries to steal the ham, but gets caught out by Donald and Humphrey, who shake their fingers at him to remind him that stealing is prohibited.

Humphrey the Bear oversleeps through the opening of hunting season one year. While the other bears flee to the safety of their cave, Humphrey is left outside and is forced to hide in a nearby cabin instead. Once inside the cabin, Humphrey is horrified to learn that it is a hunting lodge, made evident by the many guns and hunting trophies hanging on the walls. As he starts to leave, he sees Donald Duck coming toward the cabin carrying a rifle. Humphrey desperately looks for a hiding place inside the cabin, and finally notices a large bear skin rug in front of the fireplace. He quickly rolls up the rug, stows it in an empty trunk, and lays out flat on the floor in the rug's place. Just then, Donald enters unaware that his rug has been replaced, or that it is alive. Humphrey nervously endures several uncomfortable and painful experiences, all the while being very careful not to let Donald know that he is a real bear. These include hiccups, a burning ember from the fireplace falling on his fur, going through Donald's washer-dryer, and being mowed with a reel mower, among other things.
