Bone Bandit
0 views
Pluto awakes to find no bone in his dish. It’s off to the buried stash, but Pluto discovers that a gopher has been using the bones to support his tunnels, and doesn’t want to part with them. The gopher takes advantage of a pollen-laden week to which Pluto is allergic to separate dog and bone repeatedly.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
Pluto against a gopher, silent-comedy style. The gopher shorts work on a principle Chaplin would have recognised: give the sympathetic character a reasonable goal, then place an equally sympathetic obstacle in the way, and let the audience be unable to choose a side.
