Comments

From Tracey C. Grover : My brother and I would watch this over and over when we were younger. We'd always do his little "ah-moo" and laugh forever. I'm at college now and thinking about those days we used to spend together makes me really love him. I just wanted to share this memory with everyone. And I love this movie!!!

From Robert Keck : Morris... is a great film short that not only holds the kid's attention but teachers important qualities of friendship and character.

From Ryan : This short was okay,but it really isn't one of my favorites. I didn't care much for the typical plotline where a character has to overcome a disability. It gets rather tiring for me. I do, however, enjoy the part where Morris and Balsam are trapped in an old tree stump and scare off Thunderbolt.

From Carolyn Pantilieris : I give this short a 10. I taught nursery school for 18 years and showed this movie over and over again. My co-teacher and I still talk about it and it remains our favorite of all time.

From Marcus Garza : Especially with the nonsense coming out of present-day's cartoons, how can you not appreciate and enjoy this Disney Classic Short? It's not for us adults to like or dislike, but rather appreciate the "team" concept which many children are straying away from these days. What a wonderful, humorous, clean classic cartoon short for all ages!

I have seen "Morris, the Midget Moose" and would like to
