The Columbia Color Rhapsody "Tree for Two" is one of the best of the entire "Fox & Crow" shorts Columbia produced. The story itself is pretty simple - Tree surgeon Fox, having 'delivered' a young sapling out in the forest, comes across a very dilapidated tree. Of course, this shack of a tree happens to be the Crow's home. After noting the tree's symptoms ("Termitus" & "Branchitus" among them) and rating it a 4F, the Fox attempts to save the sickly specimen. Of course, the Crow won't hear of it and attempts to stop him. Needless to say, the Crow's efforts to thwart the Fox are all for naught.
Having recently acquired an uncut reissue print, I was amazed to find out that 2 titles cards have been edited from the "Totally Tooned In" version that was syndicated in 1999. Why? I have no clue. They certainly don't detract from the film, so why were they excised? All in all, this is a very enjoyable entry in the series - I rate it a 9 out of 10!!!
