Decent cartoon, typical Disney, but nothing exceptional, 31 July 2001
7/10
Author: Robert Reynolds (minniemato@hotmail.com) from Tucson AZ

This longish short was nominated for an Oscar. Decent enough and a fairly good adaptation of the tall tale, but fairly routine Disney and with nothing especially memorable or exceptional about it in any area. Worth watching, this runs infrequently as filler on the Disney Channel during "Vault Disney in the wee hours of the morning.
