8/10
Interesting and entertaining one-shot "Special" from Disney
1 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This short was one of the cartoons made by Disney which wasn't part of a defined series-though there is a loose connection of sorts. There will be spoilers below: Morris is a small moose with regular-size antlers. He's largely ignored and those who do not ignore him laugh at him. He lacks the size necessary to make a favorable impression. Then he meets another moose (Balsam) with the opposite predicament-he has a full-size body but very small antlers. They decide to "put their heads together" (literally) in order to make an effort, jointly, to defeat the dominant moose of the herd, the rather large and intimidating Thunderclap. The decisive contest is actually fairly dull for the most part. It has a few good moments, but it could have been less predicable. But the character development is good and it's all rather charming.

This short is on the Rarities volume of the Disney Treasures series of releases and is well worth seeing. Recommended.
