Morris the Midget Moose
0 views
A bootle beetle elder tells the story of Morris, the moose about the size of a rabbit. Thunderclap the moose is taking on all challengers, and Morris decides to try, much to the amusement of Thunderclap. As a result, he meets Balsam, a full-size moose with tiny antlers (Morris’ antlers are full size). The two team up, and with the help of a log that makes them very tall, defeat Thunderclap.

Curator’s rating
A small moose and a large one with weak eyesight team up to beat a bully — the underdog-partnership fable, told with the Bootle Beetle framing device the studio was fond of at the time. The moral, that two incomplete creatures make one competent one, is a good deal more interesting than most Disney short morals.
