From Ryan : I don't care too much for this short. There is just too much romance in it. Seeing the characters displaying love and affection toward each other gets rather syrupy for me.
From Brenda : I love this short. It was being shown on an international flight and memories of my childhood came flooding back. Definitely a beautiful, loving classic.
From Jessie : I love this short and have loved it since I was a kid. The best part is that all the animals couples mimic the human couple. When the girl gets upset in a huff, so do the animal girls, and the guys have to save them when they almost fall over the waterfall. Ah, so romantic. A charming little story.
From Cortney Bernier : Fantastic, nostalgic, romantic snippet from our youth. My kids love it as much as I. Rate it a 10+.
From Baruch Weiss : I own this short on "Melody Time." I don't care too much for it except for the music and the songs.
From Shea : Ahh that brought back such dear wonderful memories. It was the only site I could find of it. Wonderful pictures and exact lyrics. I wish though that it had the music to go with it.
From Suzie : I remember this from when I was in primary school, and now memories just flood back. This short is excellent! Overall I would have to give it 8 out of 10.
From Taylor Kerekes : You know, I've always noticed that Joe looks like somewhat of an adult version of Peter from Peter and the Wolf. Maybe he's acting more mature, nowadays.
From Brent : One of my all time favorite shorts - mostly because of the song sung so well by Frances Langford!
From Shanti Gonzales : I have watched this short many, many times on the movie "Melody Time." I have fallen in love with it many times. I am going to sing the song in an audition and I hope it gets me the part. I trust this song.
From Angela : I have this on A Walt Disney Christmas and I love it - and so does my 21 month old son who demands to see it every day!
From Steve F. : I spent 30 minutes on the web trying to find out what this short was about - where, when, who. A beautiful story w/music to match. It looks new, sounds old, and both me (44 year old) and my 3 year old love it.
From Kari : I absolutely love this short! I remember when I was little, going over to my grandma's house and watching this all the time! Now, about ten years later, this is still my favorite Disney short to watch. My favorite part is when the girl and the girl bunny wake up after being on the ice, and they kiss the boys, and it melts away the ice on their face. Very cute! I say 10 out of 10!
