Lulubelle

Lulubelle is Bongo's girlfriend from the 1947 short Bongo, originally featured in the film Fun and Fancy Free.

Role in the film
Lulubelle comes upon Bongo after his failed attempt to catch a fish for breakfast. Bongo instantly falls in love with her, but their interlude is cut short by the appearance of Lumpjaw, who wants Lulubelle to himself. Lulubelle tries to assert the fact that she loves Bongo by slapping his cheeks, but Bongo mistakenly regards it as her dumping him and walks away brokenhearted. But when Bongo sees a couple of other bears showing their love by slapping each other, he realizes that Lulubelle really loved him after all and rushes back to save her from Lumpjaw. The film ends on Bongo and Lulubelle climbing up a pair of trees that bend into the shape of a heart.
