In the Bag is a 1956 Walt Disney Pictures cartoon short which is very popular because of the song by the same name as the title. Smokey Bear appears briefly.

In this last appearance of Humprey and Ranger J. Woodlore tourists have left the park leaving trash everywhere so the lazy ranger gets the bears to help him, but then the bears discover his trick and dump their bags of garbage on the ground. So the Ranger cooks up a dish called Chicken cacciatore, but will not give it to the bears unless they clean up their section of the park. So the mean bears put all of there garbage into Humphrey's section, but unfortunately the bag breaks so Humphrey hides the garbage under a bush.

Next, he tries to burn it, but, in a cameo appearance, Smokey Bear puts out the fire with his foot and says "Remember only you can prevent forest fires!" Strike 2! On a side note, the scene with Smokey was edited at one time, but it has been reinstated in later showings. Finally the crazy bear puts all of the trash in a volcano causing it to spill garbage everywhere and finally results with Humphrey getting to clean up all of the garbage instead of eating his chicken cacciatore.
