Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

OllieSuave-007 For some reason, a cartoon about a robber wannabe with an annoying voice who runs into a real outlaw isn't very appealing. Boring, predictable, and unfunny. All the wannabe wants to do is play robber and not having to take baths. Just didn't find the story captivating.Grade D---

Robert Reynolds this is a color cartoon in the Silly Symphonies series produced by Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:As a general rule, Disney shorts were beautifully done, visually arresting shorts. A fair percentage of them were a bit shy on plot and some had rather limited characterizations. This cartoon has pretty much everything-excellent animation, character design and development and a nice, interesting plot.Ambrose is a kitten who fantasizes about being a robber. He's a dead shot with a pop gun. He decides that Ambrose isn't a proper name and christens himself "Butch". When his mom calls him for his bath, he decides to run away, stopping to empty the cookie jar on the way out. Spotted leaving by his none too happy mom, he "gallops" away on a stick pony.Cut to the villain, Dirty Bill, a real robber. "Butch" introduces himself creatively and Dirty Bill laughingly goes along. They sing a rather catchy song and "Butch" embellishes his exploits to the point that Dirty Bill reveals his greedy mean streak. Butch sprints back home to his mom and his bath, somewhat the wiser, at least for the moment.This short is available on the Disney Treasures Silly Symphonies DVD set and it and the set are well worth finding. Most highly recommended.

Shawn Watson A seemingly asexual anthropomorphic kitten called Ambrose dreams of being a highwayman and skips out on bathtime to loiter by the road and hold-up carriages with a fat bulldog called Dirty Bill. They appear to get on at first but when Ambrose pretends to hold-up a carriage and wins a bag of cookies Dirty Bill turns aggressive.It's a lame cartoon, to be honest, and with quite an obvious moral. Of the dozens of Silly Symphonies that were made this one right at the bottom of the pile. Even as a random cartoon without the Disney brand name there's nothing memorable about The Robber Kitten and I can't see any kids being entertained by it in the modern era.

TheLittleSongbird As a big fan of Disney Silly Symphonies in general, it is hard to single out favourites(though Skeleton Dance, The Old Mill and Flowers and Trees are certainly up there) but The Robber Kitten is definitely one. Once or twice Ambrose/Butch's voice can get a little too cutesy for my tastes especially in the final scene, but that is something so minor because everything that is so good about The Robber Kitten overshadows that one small debit. The animation is smooth and colourful with some good detail in the backgrounds, and the music particularly Dirty Bill's song is very catchy. The story has a quite cute feel with Butch's fabrication about his stagecoach robbery, but also deals with some mature themes also, Dirty Bill turning nasty is quite scary. What is also great about The Robber Kitten is the attention to the characters, Butch is one of those characters that a child can see within them and is cute but not really overly so(apart from a couple of instances), his toughing up act and looking up to Dirty Bill as a hero, who for me is one of the Silly Symphonies' better "villains", is the main reason why Dirty Bill turning nasty is as scary as it is. In conclusion, was one of my favourites and still is. 10/10 Bethany Cox
