The Bear that Wasn't is a 1943 children's book by film director and Looney Tunes
alumnus Frank Tashlin. In 1967, Tashlin's former Termite Terrace coolleague Chuck Jones directed an animated short film based upon the book for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Plot

A bear settles down for his long winter nap, and while he sleeps the progress of man continues. He wakes up to find himself in the middle of an industrial complex. He then gets confused by the foreman as a worker and is told to work. To this he responds "but I'm not a man, I'm a Bear". He is then taken to each of his successive bosses, who try to convince him that he is just a "silly man that needs a shave and wears a fur coat".
