02
Mickey's Trailer
Why this pick
Like Bone Trouble, this is a meticulously timed Disney slapstick machine: everyday circumstances become a fast-moving chain of visual disasters and recovery.
03
The Little Whirlwind
Why this pick
This Pluto short matches the playful, mostly dialogue-free appeal of Bone Trouble, building a simple yard chore into increasingly mischievous physical chaos.
04
The Pointer
Why this pick
Its character comedy similarly depends on Pluto’s expressive reactions and imperfect obedience, with a clean, charming rhythm rather than plot-heavy storytelling.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Pluto wakes up in the morning seeing birds eating his dish. Pluto's dish is empty, and he is hungry. He goes after the bone in the dish of Butch the bulldog, who is sleeping next door. He sneaks carefully trying to not wake him up. Though he succeeds in stealing the bone, Butch eventually wakes up. Pluto comes back to his home ,about to enjoy the bone, until an angry Butch shows up. Soon Butch chases Pluto through town and into a deserted carnival. The gust of wind from the chase made a poster of a belly dancer look like it was belly dancing. They chased each other through a "Tunnel of Love" ride and Pluto lost Butch by going into a hall of mirrors. Pluto was having fun with hall of mirrors until he sees Butch. Pluto takes advantage of one set of mirrors to successfully scare Butch off, and even gets to keep the bone. He winks at the mirrors and goes off with the bone.
