    Many Great Talents!
    Yes There are many cute scenes like that of Grey Beauty The Horse. However Alalfa's singing as I agree with another review is very irritating too however it still manages to stream into an interesting aspect of American History too.

    Butch and Woim always make a great pair of Trouble Makers too they get free passes both because Butch can't sing due to there already being enough singers & though Woim wants to turn the free tickets down Butch accepts them with a plan of his own but without giving too much away watch to see how it turns out.
