Art Gilmore adopts an Old Coot way of speaking to narrate this story about a small Indian boy who has a cougar killing his sheep.
Gilmore's choice is very annoying. I suppose the fact that this short would make perfect sense without the narration, that it tells its story perfectly well visually impressed the people who made the short list in its category.
The copy that plays on Turner Classic Movies shows some degradation: mostly indications that it's drawn from a 16 mm print, with some fading of the color elements.
