Plot.

The "fearless warrior" of the poem is a very small child whose pants keep falling down. He tries to shoot a grasshopper with his arrow, but the grasshopper spits in his eye. He tries to shoot a bunny rabbit, but the rabbit is too cute and pathetic. He tracks a bear, and runs after its cub and right into the mother. But the rest of the animals, thankful for him saving the rabbit, come to his rescue.

Wiki.

Little Hiawatha (also called Hiawatha) is a 1937 Silly Symphonies animated short film produced by Walt Disney, inspired by the poem The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The short does not appear to have historical correlation to legendary Mohawk leader and peacemaker Hiawatha. It was the last Silly Symphonies short to be released by United Artists.
