Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Robert Reynolds This is a one shot cartoon produced by the Disney Animation studio. There will be spoilers ahead:This short is based on a children's book by Virginia Lee Burton. It concerns a charming little house. The house has facial features, as does virtually every object in the short-eyes, a mouth, facial expressions which give them personalities.Narrated by Sterling Holloway, it follows the little house's "life" from the first married couple to live there, through the expansion of town out to where the house is located, the march of time, events and progress, the survival of the house amidst all the changing landscape and the various things great and small the house witnesses over the years.It shows the house in a rundown, decrepit state and a crew coming to the house. The house figures this is it and closes its eyes. The short ends charmingly, coming full circle with a sweet, if implausible, ending.This short is available on the Disney Treasures Rarities DVD set and is well worth seeing. Recommended.

TheLittleSongbird There is so much to love about The Little House, though it might be a touch over-sentimental for some. There is no denying how wonderful the animation is, the backgrounds look so smooth and flow equally so and the colours are very rich. The animation on the house and the increase in size is very inventively done. Also great is the music, not surprising considering that if there is a component that is consistently good in the Disney shorts it is the music. It is beautifully orchestrated while not being syrupy, which it could easily have been, and it is certainly not without energy or driven rhythms either. The Little House's story is very simple but is an involving one and also one of Disney's most emotionally charged. Disney shorts have been known to make me cry, like with Mickey's Good Deed, The Old Mill and The Ugly Duckling and The Little House does that as well. Sterling Holloway's narration is remarkably sensitive and doesn't fall into the trap of explaining too much or being annoying, after hearing narrations in animation that start saying things that we can easily see on screen or are better off shown. The titular character is a sweet one and one that we do feel genuine sympathy for, it is always great to have a lead character to root for all the way and The Little House definitely has that. In conclusion, beautifully drawn, emotionally charged and sweet, one of my favourite Disney shorts of the 50s. 10/10 Bethany Cox

MartinHafer This is a little story about a house. It's very small and is made fun of by the fancier and larger houses. However, as the years pass, times change and homes come and go. What will happen with the little house? And, more importantly, does anyone care? Sterling Holloway narrates this extremely sentimental cartoon. It's the sort of thing adults would probably enjoy and kids would find very tedious. While I am an adult, I also found this one a bit too sentimental and lacked the fun I expect in a cartoon. You see it and be the judge. It's well made....but not fun to me and my taste. If you want to see it, it's available on the "Disney Rarities" DVD collection.

Tommy Nelson Narrated by Sterling Holloway.This is my personal favorite Disney short. It's a wonderfully animated story about a small white house who was happy, until her residents moved out. The city got bigger, the house got more and more roughed up. It has a surprising amount of character development and sympathy from the audience despite it's short length. The animation is brilliant and colorful. The narration by original voice of Winnie the Pooh, Sterling Holloway was really great. If you are a fan of good Disney produced cartoons, this is my favorite and if not the best, one of the best.My rating: ****/****. 10 mins.
