Even at just 48 minutes, <em>'A Tale of Two Critters'</em> is an utter bore. There is nothing original or interesting about this film, it's something Disney have done numerous times before - it's 1961's <em>'Nikki, Wild Dog of the North'</em> mixed with 1969's <em>'Rascal'</em>. The amount of bear cubs in this studio's work is quite something! Like that '61 production, and releases like <em>'The Legend of Lobo'</em> and <em>'King of the Grizzlies'</em> for that matter, this is very bad. There is nothing to latch onto and enjoy, it's just a number of different animals thrown (almost literally) together for a would-be documentary. Mayf Nutter does an alright job as narrator, but is barely any different to the narrators from other similar productions. Like most, if not all, of Disney's nature/documentary/adventure films, this isn't worth a watch - at least in my opinion.
