Featured review
"His body kept growing larger while his brain remained small"
I am drawn to this thanks to "The Simpsons" episode "Simpsons Tall Tales." That version is much more entertaining, and in that episode, the neighbors are cruel and express their dark thoughts without restraint, just like in real life. Here, being a Disney production, they are portrayed as angelic. However, this version has a bittersweet ending that has made me appreciate it more. Generally, it can be said that this short film presents a story that doesn't offer much, which can be dull, but coming from watching "The Simpsons," I found it interesting. It is also interesting to learn about other versions of the story.
