Figaro and Frankie
0 views
Figaro the kitten is annoyed by the chirpings of Frankie the canary. He knocks over Frankie’s cage; Minnie thinks he’s eaten Frankie and throws him out. But Frankie was only hiding, and flies out the window straight into the clutches of Butch the bulldog. Figaro wrestles with his conscience (literally), but ultimately saves Frankie and gets thanks from Minnie.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
Figaro wrongly accused of eating the canary — the misunderstanding plot that the studio ran on Pluto for twenty years, transferred to a kitten. Figaro's appeal is that he is genuinely badly behaved, which makes him a more honest child-surrogate than most of Disney's animals.
