The Ballad of Nessie

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.

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.
