Comments

From David Willis : Another Disney short recently shown on British tv (not the Disney Channel UK) and this had the scenes you mention as being cut. Either they have been reinstated or whether the British regulations are different I do not know but they were there. I loved this short and I felt that the maid added a lot to the short so I do not know which scenes could have cut.

From Christy : I give it a 10, too cute. Unfortunatly I've only seen the part with the song. It's on a Sing Along video.

From Kristen : This is such a great short. I give it a 10 out of 10 rating. Unfortunately, I too, have it on Sing Along, and therefore have only seen the song clip. It is by far the cutest thing I have ever seen. (no exaggeration!)

From Fuzzball's Best Friend : It's only the best and sweetest film ever created! I showed it to my friends and they all loved it too - it rules!

From Ryan : This is the debut of Figaro and Cleo in the Disney shorts. What is interesting about this cartoon is that the maid bears a resemblance to Mammy Two Shoes from the Tom and Jerry cartoons. She could very well have inspired her. As with most Disney cartoon shorts, the animation and backgrounds are beautiful.

I have seen "Figaro and Cleo" and would like to
