    The actor who was narrating the short seemed to sound somewhat like Rob Paulsen's voice for Gordon Quid (Catscratch) and the Troubadour (Disney The Three Musketeers), only with a little more manly kind of tone. Not to mention it kind of sounds like Jim Cummings voice, too. I now wish Disney chose Rob to narrate the short. Other than that, a very CUTE short!

    I heard about this through a friend of mine when he got our friend's daughter a storybook and plush of this character. It was truly a delight to see the film, and it brought tears to my eyes because of how adorable and heart-warming it was. The character of Nessie is so strong and so lovable that you may just go out and buy a plushie of her. Billy Connoly adds to the perfection with great narration. You'll have to watch the film and experience the rest for yourself. It's just that good.

  • Vault Disney classic for true fans

    At first glance The Ballad of Nessie is a classic animation short from Disney - in fact it was produced in 2011. While its overtly political theme may irk viewers, it is of high quality and a worthy addition to their seemingly endless collection of animation. Interestingly, in a return to Walt's own practice, it was released in theaters jointly with Winnie the Pooh.
