My favorite Buster/Roscoe short, 2 December 1999
10/10
Author: silent-12

This is my favorite of all the Buster and Roscoe shorts, and that's a difficult statement to make--because they're all great! I think the capper for me was the "ballet" with Buster and Roscoe, with Buster in drag. Roscoe was so wonderfully graceful for such a large fellow, and Buster makes a terrific ballerina in slap shoes. It makes you wish they could have worked together forever!
