My Disney Experience Description
Pluto is Mickeys loyal and lovable pup. He is eager, excited, and always ready to play!
Pluto first appeared in the 1930 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Chain Gang as a bloodhound on the trail of escaped prisoner Mickey Mouse. The bloodhound character was adapted into Minnie Mouses dog, Rover. His name was later changed to Pluto and his owner to Mickey Mouse, making him Mickeys best pal. As such, Pluto is considered one of the “Fab Five” Disney animated characters alongside Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.
Pluto is also considered one of the first Disney characters to break out of the “rubber hose and circle” formula style the studio had relied on; the dogs design gave him the appearance of actually being round instead of flat. In addition, Pluto is one of the first cartoon characters that is actually shown to have thought processes through the use of character animation. His thought processes are showcased in a landmark scene from 1934s Playful Pluto, in which Pluto becomes stuck to a piece of flypaper and attempts to figure out a way to get himself unstuck.
Pluto is sometimes billed as “Mickeys Pal Pluto ” (which is also the title of a 1933 cartoon), as he is devoted to his master. Even though hes been known to run in the opposite direction when confronted by something frightening, Pluto is protective of Mickey. In many cartoons, Pluto tried his doggonedest to assist his owner, and nothing made the happy hound happier, even if their plans didnt always turn out as expected. Puppy Love (1933) found Pluto accompanying Mickey on a romantic visit to Minnie; the pooch tries to help out with spring cleaning in Playful Pluto (1934); and in On Ice (1935), the curious canine was out for a day of ice-skating, even though in Plutos case it is thanks to two pairs of skates attached to his paws by that prankster Donald Duck.
Audiences so took the loose-limbed hound to heart that, even as continued to co-star in many of Mickeys films, he was given his own series of solo-starring cartoons, starting with Plutos Quinpuplets (1937), but even before that he became the only Disney standard character to star in his own Silly Symphony, Mother Pluto (1936). Pluto has a veritable kennel-full of supporting players, including his nemesis, the bullying bulldog called Butch, and not one but two canine-cuties as sweethearts Fifi, the temperamental Pekinese and also Dinah the long-lashed dachshund. Interestingly, in Plutos Quinpuplets, Pluto and Fifi are seen as “Mr. And Mrs. Pluto,” the parents of five mischievous mutts. Pluto is also seen as the pop of a pup in Pluto Junior (1942) and as the big bro of a little guy in Plutos Kid Brother (1946). In films such as First Aiders (1944), Pluto has been teamed with Figaro the feisty feline from Pinocchio (1940), whose annoying antics gets the easily frustrated poochs hairs up. A definite highlight for the humble hound was Lend a Paw (1941) which was awarded the Oscar® for Best Cartoon of the Year.
Pluto appears as a main character in the animated series Mickey Mouse Works, once again appearing as Mickey Mouses faithful pooch. A recurring segment was the Pluto Gets the Paper mini-shorts, where he is asked to fetch the paper for Mickey but always winds up getting into trouble. Aside from this, Pluto also has his own cartoons reliving the classic Walt Disney cartoons using expression to tell an entertaining story.
Pluto appears once again in the series House of Mouse as the clubs official mascot. Despite being apart of the main cast, Pluto usually makes only cameo appearances in most episodes not revolving around him. A notable episode featuring him is “Pluto Saves the Day” in which Pluto feels unappreciated and becomes a hero after Pete poisons everyone with the Witchs poisoned apple. In another episode “Pluto vs. Figaro”, Pluto needed a helper Figaro, Minnies kitten, after Minnie thinks Pluto has been working too hard.
Pluto also appears in Mickeys Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, where he tries to help Donald get into the Christmas spirit. In the film Mickeys House of Villains, Pluto is seen only in one of the Mickey Mouse Works cartoon shorts included as part of the film, Mickeys Mechanical House, but not in any of the bridging sequences or any of the other shorts.
